This is a pick I stole from the web, but it could have been my old bike. I was 12 when my dad bought it for me and surprised my mom. She was mad, don't think they spoke for a week.

The first "bike" I had was a mini bike about 50cc but the first actual street legal bike I had was a early 70's burnt orange 125 Yamaha Enduro like this one.



I spray painted it yellow after a while. Damn I loved riding that bike in the field by our house and jumping hills.

Second bike was a red 80's era Yamaha 250 Exciter like this one


Next came a 80's era silver Yamaha 650 Maxim like this one

Damn that bike was fast.


Next was a black and red 80's era Kawasaki 440 LTD like this one


Then I went into the Navy and didn't have a bike for a while.

The next bike I owned was a red and silver 05 883c Sportster

I had the engine upgraded to a 1250 and it was fast as hell but it started using oil like Oprah uses twinkies so I traded it in for the 07 Street Bob I have now.

 

This was my first bike, which is what I owned prior to my Bob.

 

Prior to my SG I had three old red Japanese bikes.

First, a 1979 Suzuki GS550




Then I got a 1978 Yamaha SR500 thumper (I loved this bike)




Then I bought a 1986 Yamaha Radian (very fast!)




Now I'm fully indoctrinated into the cult!

 

Yamaha Virago 250 - sold it to PCS to my first base, then got the Fat Bob last year

Sad thing is I didn't notice the 65 GTO in the picture and that is one of my favorites! Shoot I owned a 68 for more than 20 years.

Here's a likeness of my first. A 69 C90 Honda my dad let me buy because it didn't run. His stand was we could not have a bike until we were out of the house. Since it didn't run and I had the $10 to buy he let me get it. Took me all of 20 minutes to get it to run.

 

68 electra glide

 

05 Ducat Monster 620 Dark. Great little bike, too light on the highway, used to get knocked around. That and severe carpal tunnel, couldnt put that much pressure on my wrists.

 

I sold this to my buddy back around 1978...he's still got it, but won't sell it back to me!

 

my first bike was a 91 sporty 883 pushed out to 1200 bunch of mods no pics =-( but sold it to my buddy who blew it up in a weeks worth of riding lol who knew
