Hahahaha, Glad you can laugh about it! :lol:
We all have our "first" ride, albeit mine was at 9yrs old, I still remember it 35yrs later!
I'll make mine short and sweet. When I turned throttle it seemed to turn all the way, no one told me you could just turn it a little bit! My Fox mini bike stopped becuase of the "God sent" tree that jumped in front of me while the rear tire keep spinning and throwing dirt! My wrist was stuck to the throttle in the "scared poopless position" and wouldn't let go! It did keep me from going of a cliff looking like Wile E Coyote!
I went on to race motocross for years figuring nothing could scare me that bad again, and I was right! :wink: I still race dirt, although it's in Enduro racing. I bought my first street bike last year, a new Honda Magna. I just fell in love with that V-4 and the sound of those Vance and Hines pipes. It gives me the best of all worlds for what I like, speed, acceleration, cruising, farting around, etc.
I look forward to the discussions of bikes here on this forum!
