I've been riding motorcycles on the street since March 1995 and offroad since the spring of 1994. I completed the MSF beginners course in December of '94,the Experienced Riders Course in May of '98 and the Mid-Atlantic Road Racing Club Race School in April of '97. I've done about 8 Hawaii Road Racing Association trackdays with my GS,SV, and VF500, several at Summit Point, WV on my sister's fiance's YZF600R and another there in the rain with the SV and VF500, and later on as a control rider for several trackdays put on by local motorcycle dealerships. I have a '95 Honda VFR750F. I bought it used with 25,425 miles in October of '98 in Salinas,CA. It now has over 150,000 miles. I used to have a '91 Suzuki GS500E with a number of mods. I bought it used with 3,000 miles in May '96. I ended up giving it away in a thousand pieces after I put about 38,000 miles on the first engine and then about 5,000 miles on the 'new' engine.
I also have an '85 Honda VF500F Interceptor and a 2001 Suzuki SV650S. My SV has over 30,000 miles, the last 10,000+ have been on the track. In 2004 I bought a bareley used 2004 Suzuki DR650SE that has some supermotard modifications.
In late 2005 I bought a 2003 SV1000 that I raced a few times and have since parted-out a lot of it.
My first bike, bought September '94 and no longer have was an '83 Yamaha DT-80K. It was a 72cc 2-stroke dual purpose. I put about 8,700 street miles on it in 9 months!!!No joke. With a top speed of 45-50mph, that's a lot of riding time. In November 2006 I found on eBay a Yamaha DT-80K exactly like the one I used to have. I drove to Rhode Island and back in one day in order to get it.
In November 2007 I bought a 2007 Honda CBR600RR with just 23 miles for $7200. It is solely for racing.
I've done a lot of off road riding and riding of friends' bikes. Total riding is over 250,000 miles and counting.
