Age of ocuk riders ?

[Deleted member 61728]

Wondering what age were you when you first started riding and how old are you now ?

Do you ride and drive or just ride ?

Started riding: 10ish
Age now: 20
Ride for commuting and my main form of transport, drive a pick-up for work.

Personally I am 43 yrs old, next Thursday the 12th......and I passed my DAS last February 2011, only been riding a little over one year so far. Have been driving a car since I was 17 yrs old.

Wish I had been riding since I was 17 tbh...all those wasted years .......

Started on a ped at 16 and am 17 now

Use a bike as sole transport (but have a car licence) two main reasons I ride over driving is 1. Riding is way more fun 2.car insurance is way over priced

Started riding around 27 years ago. Took a 20 year break and got back on a bike last year. Massive regret giving it up for 20 years but nothing I can do about that now.

Have a car licence as well but don't have a car, gave it up for riding again, and in all honestly can't see me having a car again unless I win the lottery and get an Aston.

[Draeger]

Started riding at 17 on a Kawasaki KE100. Passed test in 1989 and progressed through countless bikes as diverse as GSXR750's to BMW K100RS'. Currently riding an Aprilia RSV Mille.

Age 41 this August. I also drive, we own a Peugeot 4007 4x4 and a Peugeot 107 Urban. Had a BMW X5 4.8is up until September last year when it had to go - it was either it or the bike as belts required to be tightened financially. 1 year old son isn't cheap to run!!.

I also drive as part of my work, EFAD qualified fire and rescue service driver.

41 now, passed my test just after my 17th birthday, on a TS125C that is still in my dads garage. Passed my car test at 22, about 6 months after smashing my wrist up (or rather a brain dead schoolgirl smashing my wrist up).

EDIT: Started riding on a field bike (Suzuki B100P) at grandparents place in Cornwall when I was about 9 or 10.

 

[DanF]

Started off-road at 11 or 12, 33 now but I've had gaps of no bikes

 

[Yaayuh!]

25.
Had a TS-50X as first bike at 16, then put a 70cc bore kit on it (shhhh dont tell anyone) with 'big one' pipe and end can.
Moved up to a Kawasaki KH125 briefly when i hit 17 then in a few months got my license (restricted) and rode a CBR400RR (unrestricted but shhh don't tell anyone again ) then as i was commuting 60-70 miles a day i got a Yamaha XJ600 (diversion).

Haven't ridden in a couple of years but plan to get back on with a Triumph Street Triple R very soon
