RE: Where it all started
yeah i guess my dad has always kind of pushed it on me also.. he's a harley kind of guy andbut he influenced me to go with a honda.. Now he is suggesting for me to get a buell and i never have the heart to tell him no. he will find out though when i come back home with another honda, and hopefully it wont disappoint.

Grew up in the country on fourwheelers, snowmobiles, and dirtbikes. Naturally I would want a bike for the street when I could finally afford one. I'm a huge car/truck nut on top of that. I basically just have a passion for anything fast, loud, and sexy. I will probably be a bachelor my whole life with a small house and a huge garage with a bunch of toys

Kidding, seriously though one of my first memories was as a baby my dad putting me on the front of his chopper and speeding down the road.

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.

Lucky me. My parents just told me strait up that they couldn't afford one for me. Got the disappointment over in one swift blow. 
I do remember riding my bicycle when I was little and having a group of rockets pass me, I knew one day I would have one.

Most of us are like Ferris Bueller describing his buddyCameron in the movie:
"He's going to marry ther first girl he lays.....and she's going to treat him like sh*t" So much for the garage full of toys
LOL...boy there's the depressing thought of the day [&:]
