I started on a 1967 Honda 90 in college 40 years ago. Cost me $270 brand new - sold it for $300 two years later.

My first bike was a Honda 350 trail bike. Most people asked if was too haevy of a bike for trails. I always said "Only if you fall down." It was good for trails and road, but really good at either.

I still have a 1954 Cushman mod. 711 step thru that I took away from my first wife's drunk sister in back 1964.

Wow, those Cushman bikes are pretty cool!!!

I got a chuckle after seeing this link below. It reminds me of a mini version of a group Harley ride.

Mine was a Honda MR50 that I got when I was 8 or 9yrs old. Bought it with the money I got for my First Communion.
