    As I am listed in this site as "junior" member, I thought it might be instructive for all to show the real motorcycling experience at this site.
    So, how long have you been a motorcyclist?:
    1: brat - 0-5 years
    2: freshman - 6-10 years
    3: sophomore - 11-15 years
    4: junior - 16-20 years
    5: senior - 20+ years

    I have been riding for more than 20 years, both off and on-road combined. And your "junior" status will change as you post more. :wink:

    ...as I post more? So it's established by one's writing regularity, not riding regularity!

    Yes, Sepp. As you continue to make more posts to the forum, you member status will change. It has no reflection on the number of years you have been riding. :smile:

    I think I like the Junior status ... it makes me younger, right? :)

    Yeah, I didn't think of it that way. Over 26 years in the saddle and still a junior. Sheesh!

    Senior .... the last time I wanted to be a senior was in high school ... since passing that point, I've pretty much refused to grow up :)

    Guess I'll be graduating this season. This is my 20th year riding. It really doesn't seem that long ago that I jumped on my first bike as a junior in HS.
    12 of those 20 years on my VFR! Time for a change? Nahhhh.

    I think I'm a Junior with Sophomore status? I've been riding on the road for 13 years but on the dirt for eight before that. Twenty one years? Super senior status!

    But if we ask how many years without an accident? I'm only a freshman.

    Hmmm, I took a couple years off here and there due to some crappy luck and even crappier jobs, but cumulatively I think I fall into the sophomore category...junior if I count my really old 3 wheeler ATC days.

    That would make me a junior, sounds OK to me. Don't think I like the term Senior, not ready for that yet, to many bad thoughts go with it as I am a bit close for comfort.

    46 Years...

    Learned to ride on a Super Cub 50 in 1960, living in Japan. Begged borrowed and stole my bro's Yamaha 50 and Tohatsu 50, and his friend's Honda Sport 50 for good measure. Real fun when you're only 11. Bought my first in 1966, a Honda S90.
