yer.... got my first bike for my 7th birthday... a 60cc benelli scooter
that had been cut down into a mini bike type thing..
The lawn got boreing after a while but I found out that mums flower beds made a great motocross track.... Didn't see my bike for about 2 weeks after that one..
One day I came home after school & my little benilli was gone & there was a bright shiny new Suzuki TM125 sitting in it's place.. buy this time we had moved to a logging town I was way to big for the Benilli the TM was way better up in the trees... I had to learn to use a clutch first..

So my fathers to blame he started it all....

I'm now 57 so have been riding for 50 years now & 34 bikes later..I'm still alive..
