My first bike was a Honda 50 Cub in 1963, I was 11 years old...rode that bike all over my neighborhood. Never had a wreck and never got a ticket by the police, then graduated to a new Honda 90 in 1965 and had my motorcycle license the same year at the age of 13. I rode that white Honda 90 to Jr. High School...I'm 66 years old now.

Just an on a Harley?
Or 2 wheels with engines?
First Harley was after Nam, rode coast to coast. Sportser no less.
But dirt bikes of sorts back to about 1964 or 65

If you can count dirt bikes it's been 41 years. If not I've been on street bikes for 34 years. I've got no idea how miles I've got under my belt, I just rode.

Started riding mini bikes when i was 12 years old, i'll be 63 next month. Lived on my dirt bikes when we were kids. I couldn't wait until i got off school to get home and take off on that thing. Every weekend we would take off with
sleeping bags and pup tents. I've only been without a motorcycle twice in my life. Once over the winter of 1976 and one other time for a month in the fall of 1991 when HD quit shipping bikes due to a front brake recall.

Different world for kids today.
