Rode a tzr 125 of my mates when I was 17 and scared myself senseless. I got off it and said "never again!!!"
It wasn't until I was about 29, in the army and working down south. Wife and kids were in Blackpool, and I was commuting 500 miles every weekend to see them. I always got stuck on the M5/M6 junction for at least an hour. I used to see bikes filtering through, and thought 'I should be doing that!'
By the time I was 30, I was riding a boxeye on the same journey every week to see the wife and kids. Roughly 30,000 miles/annum.
12 years later and I've not looked back. I still do 12-15k/year, and every moment in the saddle is a moment well spent!

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
