What was your first motorcycle?
Just wondering how you got to your Harley.
Mine was a 72 Yamaha dirt bike , used, my dad got it for me, I it got when I was 14. That was in 1976.
Update.
Thank you everyone for replying to this post, sounds like lots of good memories & cool first bikes. Alot of us started the same way it looks like.

Mine was a "mini-bike" with a Briggs & Stratton! Then I got a Honda CR125 Elsinore (this was in '76).

Honda 90. My dad - who was an airline pilot - brought it back from Japan. Instead of having the gears go 1 down and 3 up, it went four up. Weird.
