LOL!! There was no such thing as a "rice burner" when I started riding. First bike was a 1957 Triumph 650cc TR6-C verticle twin - wish I still had it!

My first bike ride was on a 1948 Harley Hummer, my first bike I owned was 1952 Indian made by Royal Enfield in the UK, it was a 250cc flathead with 3 gears on the wrong side. The one I had was burgundy color.

My first bike as a kid was a Honda 175 then later a VT600 Honda Shadow. I'm glad to be part of the Harley-Davidson family now...
