Default Lets see your first bike

Here's one of mine ( or one just like it). An '82 Maico 250 Alpha1. Many happy hours on this bike. Shattered the piston racing one weekend afternoon. The mechanic said he dug shards of the piston out of the crankcase...lol.

My first bike was a 72 Suzuki ts 185. First street bike was a 74 Kawasaki 500 Mach III, very fast for its time. I wish I had pictures of my bikes. Found these on the net. My first HD was a 82 wide glide with flames on the tank. Can't find any pictures of it or one like it.

Here's mine. An 84 Honda Shadow 500 and a 94 Suzuki Intruder 800. Wish I still had the Intruder; it'd be perfect for my wife to learn on.
