Started at 7years old on a "Tote Goat" rode various Dirt/Street bikes over the years. I now have 3 streetbikes in the garage, my '09 America the newest. Total time: 51years
Rode various mini/dirt bikes growing up. Got my street license at 17 and rode til I was 20. Start again at 39 (42 now) and have been riding both a Speed Triple and Speedmaster since then.
50 here. Been riding for 1 year. Rode before that about 30 years ago on small stuff up to a Kawasaki H2 (750 2-stroke). Scared myself and gave it up when i got married. Once I saw a new Triumph twin I said I have to ride again. Bought a Speedmaster after a lot of talking with my wife about being sane on a bike now. Loving it!

Riding since 13.
Started with "stealin'" a lawnmower and cutting a baseball bat to make it direct drive on an old Sting Ray bicycle.
moved to a RUPP mini bike and couldn't stop. BSAs, Hondas, Kawis, Triumphs.
Hope the list continues,.........
I'm 60, been riding on the street for 46 years. The first year I wasn't licensed, but I got a job to pay for my bike so my Dad let me ride it. We lived in a small farming community (3000) so it was no big deal back then. Would be a big deal, ticket, and probably confiscated ride now.
then a big break and started again 3 years ago. Turned 50 in June.
