I started riding when I was 19 on the road, got my permit then took a riding course to get my license. After my 20th birthday I bought my first bike (2003 Buell XB9R), crashed that a couple months later. Then a month after roughly bought my second bike (2009 Buell 1125CR). 3rd was my first Yamaha (2015 FZ-07), 4th a 2015 Honda Grom (was rear-ended on that by a texting driver and in the hospital for 4 months). Since that happened I really started riding as up to that point I've ridden a total of about 31,000 miles from 2011 to 2016. First bike after the wreck was my last one (2017 Yamaha FZ-07) and put 28,600 miles on it over 2 years of ownership. Then traded it in for my Ténéré where I'm about 400 miles shy of what I did on my FZ-07. Total roughly since 2011 is about 76,000 miles between my 6 bikes and my mom's Buell Blast that I've ridden a bunch.
Awesome that you’ve been able to keep track of your mileage! My little bro bought his S10 this year at the ripe old age of 31. But we’ve both been riding on the road with a license since 13. Yea 13, growing up in Thailand has its perks.

13..holy that's insane if that's on a full blown motorcycle, your body is still a weasel. I know of places that 14 can get you a license for a bike like a Moped or low displacement type bike with restrictions but not what most of us would call a full blown motorcycle.

I've also heard that Thailand doesn't have the best driver safety record. Could be one of the reasons.

Well yes it’s a different world for driving no doubt. And I was close to becoming a hood ornament to many times. I’m sure my guardian angle doesn’t look so good.

I have been driving on the highway since 14, a Kawasaki 250 at the time. Having a father who didn't care and living out in the country :) Finally got caught just before I turned 16 as I forgot to wear eye protection one day (even though it had a windscreen).

Started riding motorcycles when I was 10, which was a Kawasaki 100.
