Here's are the ones I keep from child hood

 

Mine was a 1972 Yamaha DT100.....purple of all colors. Boy all the talk about the Hodaka's sure brings back memories.

 

Damn my first real bike with shocks was a ole 90, wine red with black inlay.....back in the AMF days!
I believe I was around 12 years of age when I dogged that bike in and around them sand hills of southwester Oklahoma.
I remember cleaning lots of spark plugs, until Friday...........that's when my dad would go into town for parts for his ole Norton Commando.
Hell.............that's when I got a new spark plug.

 

I am very surprised to see some many other Hodakas as 1st bikes! I learned to ride and wrench on a Hodaka. I rode almost as much as I wrenched!

Mine:
74' Hodaka Super Rat 100cc
73' Yamaha DT175
77' Yamaha TT500
81' Kawasaki GPZ550
86' Honda TRX250R
83' Suzuki GS550
99' Honda Shadow 750 ACE
01' Indian Scout (Current)
02' Harley Ultra Classic (Current)

65cc Benelli. Rode it in circles around the house until I had worn a track in the lawn. Dad was not happy, to say the least!

 

Thinking back,the first Mini bike I rode was a Tote Goat.These things had some awsome torque.
I think i was ten,gave it some throttle and I was just hanging on the bars with my hands.It me dragged down the street before my uncle stopped it!
