37 for me
My first was an Allstate Cruiser made by Vespa and sold by Sears, May of 1964. So that would be 57 years.
Counting minibikes?
well I starting with minibikes at age 14 then rode motorcycles until my mid 20's when I was hit head on by a car on the wrong side of the road I was on a friends Honda 750 at the time - The car was totaled, highway pegs on the bike opened the car like a can opener. I was not wearing a helmet at the time and to this day I do not remember the actual collision I got very lucky in that I only had about 14 stitches over my left eye and was actually home in time for dinner that evening - - anyway I took it as a sign and gave up riding at that point even let my 2 wheel endorsement expire - - fast forward to 2016 when A slingshot pulled up behind me at a light - - yep that was it, a few months later in April 1017 and Cage Free came home with me from the dealer, that same day I gave my car to my daughter and my slingshot has been my daily driver ever since
oh - - and my friends 750 actually survived the crash - needed new forks and a gas tank, but other than that my friend had it back on the road in a few weeks, would have been days, but insurance was very slow
57+ starting with honda super 90 1964. Rode every year except when deployed by uncle sam
The first time I rode a motorcycle was when I was 16 at a Yamaha learn to ride event in 1974. Saved my Summer job money and bought a new 1978 Honda Hawk (CB400). Moved on to a new 1983 V65 (still have it). Saw the Slingshot in the Spring of 2015. Brought home a 2016 Slingshot in October of 2015. So I'll say 43 years not counting the learn to ride event, 47 if you do.
51 years with short interruptions, for example I had a crash and broke my collarbone and a few burns. Looked the same (from the web)
48 years for me also. First bike was a 67 Honda 305 Super hawk. It would top out close to 100 mph, but when you're young and used to pedaling your Schwinn, 100 mph was fast as hell. Boy I wish I still had that one today
55 starting with a Yamaha 350 Big Bear.

I had a Honda V-65 also as soon as they came out. That was the most fun bike I ever owned. I bumped 125 mph every day on the straight away coming up to my house.
63 years for me. Fist bike when I was 14 yeas old.
49 years, starting with a Benelli 65cc bought at the JC Penny auto center.

Yep road my brothers v65 at 115mph.
61 years here -- started with a honda super 90 and never looked back
I have ridden motorcycles off and on from 1991 to 2017, military, work, and wife permitting.
1981 Honda CM400
1985 ZX900
1997 M750 Ducati
1999 ZRX1100
The Duc was sold in 2017, along with my '92 vette when we bought our current house.
26 years of riding motorcycles but I didn't do much riding the last few years.
I still miss riding motorcycles sometimes but I would rather have my wife beside me in our 2021 R model. We both love this thing!
I've only been riding 10 years. In fact today is the 10 year anniversary of me buying my first bike.
I didn't start riding until a little before my 54th birthday. Started with a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 in 2007, then bought a new 2008 Suzuki V-Strom 650 about 6 months later. After moving just north of Houston, Texas, I drove to Nashville, TN at the end of January 2010. Having ridden over 120,000 miles on the 3 bikes over 8 years, I stopped riding 2 wheels in Spring, 2015, after I started having some balance issues and got my Slingshot a couple months later. I've now got 63000+ miles on the Slingshot. I'd have more miles, but the Slingshot has been on blocks about 1.5 years during various projects.
Bought a Yamaha YL1 100cc twin in 1966. My math says 55 years,
I started riding at 49 -- Honda Silver Wing 1981, year later 1985 Gold Wing, spent 22 years and 250,000 miles on Wings and age 71 went to the Slingshot in Feb of 2015 and now have 106,000 miles in the seat....LOVE it.
I bought the 5th Goldwing in South Carolina (Memorial Day 1975) when they first came out. It was crazy riding around Maggie Valley area, that summer. No one had ever seen one and I was up there 5 or 6 times that summer. We even got pulled over by a park ranger for coasting down the mountain because he could not hear us.
