Welcome mate, same here, I got my first bike when I was 9 years old, the same year I got my shiny new bicycle. My dad was none too impressed when I swapped it for a "non running" Honda QA50 a few months later, but I didn't care, it was the start of a 51 year odyssey which has seen over 20 CB750's, not to mention 3 Harleys, a Triumph, a couple of BSA's, Royal Enfields, Kawasaki 900's, a Ducati 900SS, a CZ Scramble bike, a couple of Yamaha dirt bikes, 7 BMW's, and I think I currently have 18 bikes, ranging from CB750's nd Kawasaki KZ/Z1's to modern(ish) sports bikes like my SP1's and VFR750. There's never been a time since I was 9 when I haven't owned a bike, and I've forgotten more than I can remember. To me, motorcycling has always been a passion, not a fashion.
Enjoy your time here, and don't be afraid to share your stories.
