well, first ? kinda.
we had rupp mini-bikes, offcast cushmans and allstates, then zundaps and anything else on 2 wheels we could get our hands on.
dirt bikes early YZ 125 and a MX 360. got pretty banged up in a stupid drunken leap-frog tag game thru a state forrest and gave up bikes for 5 yrs.
at 23 my first street bike was a '73 HD Super Glide that started my fasicantion with customs and performance tuning.
in '83 i traded that bike for a 73 volvo sedan and enough cash to put my wife and kids in a rental and out of friends basements. i figured that would be the last i rode.
15 yrs. later in '98 my wife picked me up from work and said we had somewhere to go. 2 hrs. later i woke up in a unrecognizable town in a drive full of bikes.
she walked over to a cherry 77 Lowrider, cams, Andrews gears, stagered duals and said this one is yours honey. i kept it 2 yrs but it was never the same as the old days.
i saw an add for an '85 Vmax and having the cash went and got it. that was the last i rode the Glide, i sold it the following yr. for double what we gave for it.
still have the Vmax, they're the base of my tuning buisness, i've had a '01 FZ1000, built to the nines, sold it bought a '02 ZRX1200R, fun enough i guess but it's for sale too.
i got into MB's as a hobby sort of thing, then sold my '84 18 MPG Grand Marque when gas hit $4.00 and have been using the MB as a yr. round commuter since.
the MB is the most fun i've had in riding since i was a kid patching up basket cases and riding where they would take us and bumming a ride back home in the back of someones pickup.
