No picture of it but it was a 1978 Honda CM400E. Rode it for three months, then bought my AMF Sportster.

First bike I actually paid for in 1974 was a Kawasaki 400. Used Sportster came shortly after.

My first bike was a Honda 50 used, in '63 and later on it was a Honda CB160,never ran worth a da!m. I bought a dirt bike used and rode it for a short time. Got married and then I bought my first Harley two years ago.

I started out on a mini bike, but my first real motorcycle was a 1968 175cc Honda road bike.

I had a Yamaha 550 Maxim when I was 17. Wrecked it, 14 years later I bought my Harley.

I can't remember if it was 'mine' or not, but I rode a Bridgestone 90 (I have NO idea what year it was. I found a pic of a 1966 that looks exactly like I remember it). It was my younger brothers bike first and he knew how to wrench it. I got it after he got a Suzki T/S 125 (which later became mine). In 94 I bought my first NEW motorcycle. A Suzki Intruder 800.

Next was my HOG.
