Default Where it all started

I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was 8. From that moment on I was absolutely obsessed with motorcycles.

I'll try not to make this too much of a sob story, hehe...

Mine started when I was about 8-9yrs old and I lived in the country and all my friends had dirt bikes. Well I begged and begged for one but my parents didnt have enough money at the time.

The deal was, if I skipped my birthday, wait a few months past & my parents would get me a dirt bike. So my birthday (june) and a few months passed, NOTHING.

So look whats here... its christmas so my parents give me the same spill... no xmas presents and they swear a bike. So I agree! Few months later still no bike... My dad comes back from out of state & he bought me a helmet.

So time for my birthday AGAIN... and my parents come up with some lame excuse why they cant buy me a dirt bike. But boy oh boy I had a f**king helmet that loved to taunt me.

So from that day on I swore I'd get a bike, no matter what I had to do or what it took to get one. First Bike was a '93 GSXR 750, crashed and burned.. Got my Hurricane and the rest is history...

and my step-bro always owned Sportbikes, i'd drool when he brought them over.

God damn right! I love to ride, but I love to ride recklessly even more!

I didn't find a trailer for Road Rage IV, but that's my fav so far. And no I'm not just trying to be cool, I love beating the stit outta my bike and fooling around...outside of society so I don't wanna hear a bunch of pansys saying I'm endangering the general public, it's only me.

Edit; Suppose I better throw up a vid of the locals that really geared me to the desire before I even got my bike

My dad raced short-track and did hill climbs on a Harley from before I was born. I grew up on bikes. That's probably why I like so many different ones.

Well I turned 18 and my mother hates bikes so I did what comes naturally to every young male. I went out and bought a bike because she basically told me not too. Ever since then I have loved being on 2 wheels. Only here recently have came to love leaning like I got a flat.

I dont think I can trace myself back to a particular moment, but growing up I always said I was going to get a bike. Naturally, my mom was totally against it and said I would NEVER have a bike. I didnt have anyone in my family that rode or anyone I knew that created my interest, I guess it was just all genetic for me.
