My dad had bikes before have us three kids, but sold his last when my sister (2 1/2 years older than me) was born. He didn't get a bike again until my parents got divorced when he was given a CX500 with a bent frame. We spent that summer stripping it down and swapping it over into a new frame from a basket case he bought. He then swapped all his accumulated bits and the bike for a complete, working, nice looking example and then started taking me out on it.
I've always loved bikes but my mum never let me get one, and I was always skint, so after finishing uni and getting a job at 24 I bought a Hyosung GV125. Passed my direct access two years later and got a CBR600 '99 of a mate. Had that for a year then sold it and bought my Fazer of my brother who'd just got banned for 109 mph (tut tut).
Always loved bikes and always wanted one, especially the Fazer. Just have to keep hold of it now that my daughters been born :\
And still want to get a CX500 just for old times sake, but they're going for silly money these days "Cult classic them are"
