Who here started riding the earliest in the 20th century?

Well, if your are counting four wheels, my first set woulda been a go-kartpowered by a Clinton lawnmower engine at ~12 years old.

1961 or 62 on a Honda 305 Dream. Back then even that could keep up with traffic (and scared the snot out of me a few times). Probably made me a safer rider though.

I fabricated my first set of powered wheels in our garage sometime in the late 50’s just after I learned to weld.

Part of a metal kitchen chair, half of a bicycle, and a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine. Tricycle. Lotsa fun. Some road rash. But, I avoided any broken bones. LOL Sure wish I had some pictures.

My first REAL set of wheels was a Honda P50? moped I rode on base in Korat Thailand in 1968. Hardly ever sober.

I started in 1964 on a 1964 Honda C-90, the only one I've ever seen. Put 22,000 miles on it.
