I'm 24 and have never ridden a day in my life but want to start. Most guys around their mid 20's who I have talked to all started when they were 15 so they got 10 years or more or riding under their belts. It just makes me wish I had started sooner than now but that just got me wondering when all of you started? Is there an age where it's too late to start?

I'm 25 and I started this year. Everyone has to start sometime, doesnt matter if you're 5 or 50. Go for it and enjoy it!

 

[J3st3r]

Started when I was 17 and am kicking myself for not starting sooner...[)]

 

[freebird5150]

Started at age 10 or 11.. so long ago I forgot

 

[Roadrunner]

Started at age 8 on a Kawasaki 100cc bike.

 

[Demoncrash]

Started in the beginning of this month and am loving every second of it. I'm 21. Don't worry about everyone else having more experience than you, just enjoy yourself and keep learning. I do know how you feel about wishing you had started earlier though

Started last August at age 26 on my lil 250. But I'm a girl, does that make a difference? NOOOO! Enjoy it just as much as, if not more than, the hubby who started 14 years ago (he's 31 now)! Don't think you are ever too old to try something new and 'adventurous'.

Started riding dirt bikes at 11 street at 17 seems like a long time ago.

 

[anarion55]

Dirt bikes at 14... first street bike at 18 (it was a '73 Honda 350, which was considered a mid-size at the time)

 

[Shawman]

At age 31, I took "the course" learning on CB125s, then bought a XR 650L dual sport. I got a GS500F at 33 then got the ZX 6R this May at 35, no looking back.

It is never too late to learn riding a motorcycle...
...even if mother disagrees!

I first rode dirt around eight years old, street when I was probably 14, on my brothers bike. Bought my first street bike when I was 18.

14, stopped at 18 and started again at 28. I should have never stopped. All those wasted years I could have been on a bike.

[RedFinn]

Started at 25 too. I rode a 250 enduro style bike for two weekends when I was 16, that's my total previous experience.

Here's a crappy pic I made to make myself feel better.



It didn't really work, since I realised I suck a photochoppin too. Also, if I picked a couple pics from 2006 it would be crash pics [xx(]

You won't ever make it into MotoGP, but you can make a decent club racer, maybe even AMA if you're gifted (And loaded). Main point is, it's not too late to learn to ride really well, whether street or track is your thing.

If there is an age where it's too late, it isn't mid or even late 20's.

 

[Maineac]

You all make me feel old! [:I] I started learning at 33, got my ER6n at 34.
