Unofficially? Me - I stole my brothers CT70 one weekend and crashed into my dads boat trailer, the shed, and the fence.

Officially, my brothers and my dad all had a hand in teaching me how to ride.

To ride? A friend who took the MSF 2 weeks earlier...

My dad taught me how to ride on a Honda XR70 when I was probably 7. Sold that a couple years later and bought a buell blast when i turned 18. :TWF: taught me a ton when I was first starting to look at bikes. The first guy who taught me how to actually be fast was named Pete. He's 55 or so and is one of the faster guys I know. The guy who has been helping me improve since then is named Steve and is in the top 3 fastest riders I have ever met.

MSF

I never let my ex show me a thing which worked out well. After I learned how to ride I realized how bad a rider he is.

Was taught how to operate a clutch on a kx 80 at 6 or so.

I've been riding various mini bikes since I was 4. So, I was taught by my dad as a child.

I taught myself how to ride on the street through trial and error and reading the net.

A & M Motorcycle Safety.

Chris wasn't yet a coach at that time, and he REFUSED to teach me; MADE me take the class.

Myself...my parents didn't ride and didn't like motorcycles.

Back when I bought my first bike...a 1988 Kaw Ninja 600R I didn't even know if I'd make it home alive since it was 5:00 pm in rush hour traffic when I picked it up. I got it home just fine and then wrecked it 4 days later after locking up the front brake and collecting some asphalt rash.

I finally got the hang of it and have now owned probably 10 bikes and have been riding on and off for 20 years or so.

My older brother taught himself as well and several years later after joining the police department he ended up as a motorcycle cop so he did have to get actual training there.

After a few years of this he got promoted and was in charge of the motorcycle squad for the Raleigh, NC police dept. for a few years. He's now retired.
