First Bike?
I started riding every chance I got in 1965. A friend gave me the first
bike that lived at my house, a 450 Honda that I rode all summer in 71. I
didn't get my 1st very own bike until spring of 72 - a 5/Toaster. Yea, I was
cool too. Got introduced to Ducati in 72 and bought my first new Duc in
Spring 79. Been riding pretty much daily for 36 years.
I watched an old man, Roland Pike (a moto genius of BSA fame), ride his
motorcycle in all types of weather on a very frequent basis up until just
before his death at something over 85 years old. Look him up. He was a
motocycle icon. His last bike as a 250 Ninja that he said could outrun his
vision.
Hope I make it that long. Why take a car when you can ride!
