My very first girlfriend and I both had little mini-bikes back during the summer of 1969, when I was just 14 years old. We had too much fun for such youngsters! I have loved women and bikes ever since.
I later bought a new 1974 Honda 750. I was dangerous; I had the need for speed; and I nearly always shifted at redline.
Then in 1983, I saw a Honda commercial with PeeWee Gleason screaming down the track turning a 10.82 quarter mile on a stock production (116 HP) Honda V65 Magna. I searched the city and bought one the very next day. Again, I was skillfully dangerous. I rode like a wild man and am quite happy to be alive today.
The temptation to ride remains; I don't have a bike at the present time. I have promised myself just one more scooter during this lifetime: a beautiful, good sounding, and SLOW Harley. "Slow" is now good at my age.
