I wish I woulda kept my first harley..... got it when I was 12. A 1965 M50 S. Italian made with a "grip shift" 4 speed!! Loads of fun for a kid in the country.

1979 Honda XR 75

My first bike 1979 XR 75. I used to launch that thing. Probably only a couple feet high but I remember it as similar to Jeremy Mcgrath bustin out triples. Dont have any pictures of it .
Also this one. Nothing that special but the most insane mischief inducing motorcycle ever. If it was moving it was more than likely on one wheel. Got a lot of tickets on this thing. Got it fresh from italy in the crate, put a gold 'manufactured in italy' over the 'for offroad use only' on the MSO so I could get it registered on the street.

Great looking Norton Coach, they were fun to ride. I had an 850 Norton with 6" extensions on it but glad we lived on a steeep hill then. I rolled it off the hill to start a lot when I didn't feel like kick starting it, no compression release. My first was a honda 100 I could only ride to the dead end and to the stop sign, unless no one was watching or at home. I did have access to a brand new Electra Glide in the light blue color, all the bells and whistles, my step father had, but always had to get it back home and cooled off, setting in the exact same place he had parked it, before he got home from work at approximately 3:45 Tuesday through Saturday,,. He never found out I took it out and drove it all over the place, he would have "killed me" literally, fed me to the hogs or something like that, and he would still be of it today. I do think I will tell him right before he croaks.
