not my first bike, I think I'd have to dig up a picture and scan it.....but no idea where one of those might even be, but my first American bike.....2003 Sportster. Bad pic though, camera phone.

A friend of mine had a 76 Honda 750 Four wrecked twice in 1600 miles so I got it in a trade and built my own late 79.
It started out like this when he got it and like this when I started ridding it in 1980.

Though pics of my original bike were lost long ago in a Military move, this pik is identical to the bike that I purchased in 1953 with 600 miles on it. A 1950 FL Panhead. Mine had the "Buddy seat" instead of the solo saddle.

The first bike I ever rode on as a passenger was on the tank of my Dad's '68 Honda Scrambler. I have the bike now. Here's a shot of it at the beach one evening a couple years ago.
The first bike I rode myself was an old Honda 50 minibike. Spent a lot of hours riding trials, ditches and jumping approaches on that thing. Wish I still had it.
My first street bike was a red '72 Honda CB450 which I rode when I was 12 to 14. Pa said to push it to the edge of town and ride around on the country (gravel) roads out to my buddy's place. I only pushed it to the edge of town once, after that it was pushed till I was out of view and I rode, and rode, and rode. The days of freedom...nothing to do but a paper route in the AM and ride till dark, or till I ran out of gas.
