I had a Monster 600 at 18, a 900 at 20 and an RSV Mille at 24.
Had 3 crashes on the 600, 5 (2x hospital) on the 900 and only 1 (on the track) with the Mille. All my fault, mostly because of lacking grip (leaning angle, too hard on the throttle) - not too fast , nooooo!!! ;-)
What does it say about age?
Nothing.
What does it say about a great time? A lot. I didn't care about school at that age and spent all my money on gas and tires. Got my degree anyway (dont pay for University in Germany)...
Obviously, someone is really proud here, i can fully understand it. I am 32 now, working hard, too... And have to hold myself back sometimes, being so proud of my little diva parking in front of the office window.
So let the good times roll and appreciate everyone's achievements. Better show off here here than posing around on the main streets saturday night with the christmas tree lights, making a fool of all of us.
