So who taught you how to ride?

Taught myself. Was a total squid.

Then I discovered some local forums, started riding with peeps, and learned to not be a squid.

Yay.

Started on my Honda 50, and I'd say really no one taught me, I knew where all the controls were and gear pattern etc... I grew up around bikes to that point, dad brought it home, I let my older cousin ride it first. Then I jumped on it and the rest was history.

Taught myself for the most part. My dad helped as well.

I wanted a motorcycle as far back as I can remember, I had brochures that I slept with, looked at, drooled over, would pretend that I was riding my father or uncles bike all the time would sit on them and blast away in my own imagination.

A friend down the street had his before I had mine so maybe I picked something up from his as well, I was 7 or 8 when I got mine.

My buddy howie showed me how to ride on his (very old) Goldwing started out with just going straight then moved up to turns, I had ridden dirt bikes and quads so there wasnt much for me to learn
