I have been riding since 07, I will have to dig up some pictures when I get back to the US, but I started off with a 2001 RC51, but sold it when when my son was born, I went without a bike for a while just riding friends bikes, but recently I picked up a little XT250 enduro, can't beat the gas mileage 86 MPG! But once I save up I am picking up a crusier.
