Not one other single person in my family, my wifes family, or my son and daughter in laws families ride, own, or have ever ridden a motorcycle except me and I always own at least a few bikes at once. I find that a little odd, but it's true.

My grandfather Bruce Ackland Hall. Served in France and Egypt in WW1. I never met him he was killed in a jeep accident in the bush at the age of 57 in 1952 when mum was 12 years old.

Nice of that chap to drive him around.

Not quite the same story here although my 2 brothers and my cousin (and me) are the first generation to have anything to do with motorcycles in our families. My son nagged me for years for a KTM and now he's only months away from getting his "L"s he desperately wants a Scrambler. Hopefully he'll one day be showing off pics of me!

I have 4 brothers and all but the youngest ride.
Prior to that my mother had a scooter (Don't know what it was) before Mum and Dad were married - locating photos is unlikely.
