Mom was a nurse so no motorized toys until she and Dad split when I was 13. Bought a XL100 Honda for $50 with money earned painting porches in the trailer park Dad lived in. Mom never did forgive him for letting me buy a bike.
Progessed through the ranks until I had a KZ1000 when I was 21, laid that one down at 140 MPH after hitting an armadillo one night, decided it was time to leave bikes alone until I was a little older and wiser. Now at 46 I have my Softail.

First bike was a 71 Honda ct70 . Great little bike . as soon as I had a licience I traded it in on a Suzuki GT185 street bike . Did more with that little 185 than with any bike since . Funny how having no car makes a BIG difference LOL .
