No. I've never been on one. I wanted to ride my friends minibike, and because we had real parents when I grew up, his mom called my mom to make sure it was OK. I knew my mom would say no, and she did. I was 13 I think. One time my older daughter asked a similar question at a similar age. Guess what my answer was? A girl was killed on one when my kids were very young (before this). When I was asked I immediately thought about that horrible story.

Yes - my first powered vehicle was a BSA 250cc "C15 Star"; when you could learn to ride a motorcycle up to that capacity.
Later a Matchless 350cc single, designated model "G" if I recall correctly. This was a very heavy machine, really too big for me.
More recently I owned a Honda 125cc - I forget the model - for a year or two when my car was off the road for a long time for an expensive major repair.
I don't intend motorcycling again but might buy an electric-assisted bicycle for short local trips.
Deep Durdle. I had an agility 50cc scooter, and, for a more slightly built 145 pound guy, I rode this baby for 3 years straight and getting 1000 miles a year on it and even went 1/3 of the way across Massachusetts in it a couple times. It has breadbasket for groceries and an under the seat place for things and you can keep things on the flat floor board between your feet. I needed a repair which cost the price of the cycle itself so I sold it back for them to keep. Whatever.
