I'm 47 and have owned several bikes and bought my first Buell (an M2) in 2000 and now own an XB12R.

If I'd known a midlife crisis would be this much fun I'd have had one 20 years ago!!

I'm 36 and have two bikes (only been riding two years):

2002 Honda Sabre
2002 X1W Buell

If there is an XB12 White Lightning in the future, I'll have it for sure! Seriously looking at the XB12R right now. Just can't get enough!!!!!

32 years old, been riding since age 7

First bike was a 50cc Honda Trail Dust, my dad bought it for $50.00. That thing was beat up when I got it, but it ran for another 15 years. My younger brother, sister and many cousins learned to ride on that little thing.

Then had a old Kawi 175, enduro, but it was a tank. I had a hell of a time trying to keep up with my friends on their YZ's until I got a 1986 IT 200. Great bike, still have today.

Then a 1984 Interceptor 700. That was a really fun bike, had a V-4. Now its a 9S and love it.

33 and an 03 XB (9R)

First bike after riding (but not owning) some farm bikes in New Zealand where I grew up.

Do pocket bikes count!? How about my CR125-powered shifter karts? ; )

I love this machine and I will *always* have it in my stable. I do believe I'm hooked.

44 here.

Originally owned an '04 12R but traded for an '04 Harley FXDX (my 44-year-old back couldn't handle the 12R seating position). Probably going to end up with a 12S before the year is up.

42, riding for , well a long time. am picking up my 1st Buell Friday, 04 12R, Black. I've been interested in them for a while, first time I saw the XB's, I new I wanted one!

!st bike was a Honda Trail 70, (around 1972), then got an RL250 (trials) Suzuki. Hit the streets in 81 on a Suzuki GS650, followed by A beautiful, ( but failure prone) 83 Harley Roadster, a honda v45, Honda XL600 (lots of fun) and my last was an ill fated Honda 1100 Shadow, it took on an 8pt. buck, and, well... hence the username...

I'm 28 and the hubby is 30. Both of us have 9R's and they are our first buells and street bikes. Already craving others to add to the stables! Gotta pay for the first two before that can happen, though.
