MY FIRST BIKE WAS A 1981 YAMAHA 400 SPECIAL THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE CYCLE TRADER. IT WAS STARTER BIKE FOR ME TO GET MORE RIDING EXPERICENCE. I TOOK MY LEARNER'S PERMIT AND PASSED THE ROAD TEST FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO I GOT THE HANG OF IT THEN I WENT FURTHER FOR MORE POWERFUL BIKE, ANOTHER JAP BIKE 1983 HONDA 650 NIGHTHAWK WITH DRIVESHAFT. IT WAS A BLAST FOR MY NEED FOR SPEED. LATER ON I PURCHASED MY FIRST HARLEY LAST SPRING 1991 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXR-SP FROM A PRIVATER OWNER.
