The mini trail?

Mine was a 1967 Honda Z50 "Mini trail". It was my dad's when he was a kid then mine (after a bunch of people) when I was around 7. My grandpa still has it back home in Venezuela and when I last went 4 years ago it fired up in the 6th or 7th kick.

1973 850 Norton Comando. Gear shift on right side and no electric starter. Unable to keep up with Kaw Z-1 on the straight road but we could run off and hide from 'em on the Dragon.

Yamaha Seca Turbo at the age of 19. Its a wonder I didnt get myself killed on that thing. Heavy for a sport bike.

My riding history started when my Dad took me to see Evil Knievel. That was all it took! Worked my butt off to save up and bought me a Honda Trail CT70. Jumped that thing over everything until we dropped the engine out!

Bought a Vespa next... didn't jump well...sold it!

In High School ran a Honda CB400F. It had a 4 into 1 exhaust and I flamed the tank!

After High School graduation I purchased my first HD! She was a Black FL 1200 Electra Glide. Kept it through college (6 year plan) Sold it to get married!

Once the kids were older... purchased multiple dirt bikes to teach my kids to ride.

Beginning of my mid life crisis...2 Aspencade's...a BMW RT1200, and a brand new Heritage Classic.

Past Mid life...rounding retirement now. Newest edition is an 08 Electra Glide Classic. I ride now more then ever!

Don't know what year (must of been a 60 something) Honda 90 with a home made straight pipe with a snuffler on the end that you could open or close. Talk about a rat bike.

Honda 450 twin. Tough little bike. Just as fast as my Ultra Classic but not as comfortable.
