24 (legally at a track) Ran 12's on my RF600 (hanging head in shame)
Raced the first streetbike I had (SRX 250) against anybody who wanted to when I was 22.
But when I was 4, I raced a boy down the road on my Big Wheel.......

I started racing dirt bikes when I was about 16. Hare scrambles,enduro's,flat track, motorcross,three stage trials (in england) and drag racing.Never raced in an actual road race (I wanted too though).I like going around curves (it lasts longer than 1/4 mile) Don't get me wrong I like drag racing a lot!

I started a little street racing back in '87 on my Ninja 600, I was 21 yrs.old...Never been to a real DragRace track till I bought the 2000 ZX12...My first trip to the DragStrip was July 2000 at 35 yrs.old!!!...I wish I had more time and money to go 2x a week...I have to settle for 2x a month!!!

The '02 is smoother...Holds a steady RPM!!!...smoother throttle...steering feels lighter...Did I mention its smoother???...clutch is smoother ( Kawasaki fixed the clutch problems of the '00-'01 ) I forgot there never was a clutch problem, yeah right!!!...
By the way my '00 is For Sale!!!

I've taken practically ever car I've owned to the strip since I was 16. Started bracket racing seriously in my Demon about 10 years ago but haven't touched it in two years. Got back into bikes and just forgot about the car. First bike I raced was my 76 kz900 back in the mid eighties. It ran low 12s on a good day.
