First Bike?

What was your first ride you really learned on? Mine was a 1973 Honda CB 350 I got when I was 18, way back in 1982.

RE: First Bike?

Mine was a Harley Hummer 165cc with Buckhorn Bars back in '57. I wishI still had that scoot. In Florida back then you could get a restricted license at 14. Good for under 5hp during the daytime. Fond memories.

RE: First Bike?

I think it was a 1971 Honda Mini Trail 50. Got it when I was 11. Picture attached (isn't my actual bike, but I came across that picture. Looks just like my first bike. Same color, everything.)

First legal street bike was a 1974 Honda 100. Don't have a pic of that one.
