This was my first bike in 1972, it cost $200.00. I kept it till 2008 and sold it for $1000.00. This picture was in 2008. I can't keep everything, but I should have kept it.

1969 Honda Dream like this one...should have kept it.

Used to ride the honda to the gas station I worked at, put the plate on the XL, ride all night then switch back and ride home.

Its amazing to see so many old rides. I'll post my 46 HD 45 that I found in  a chicken coup.

The old Japanese bikes are awesome.  If you think about it, for the price they are selling for now, and what they cost new, they have appreciated more than any bike made.

First "legal" Motorcycle was a used 1969 Kawasaki H1, second was new 1972 Kaw H1B  Both of these bikes would flip over backwards if u twisted it to full throttle in 1st or 2nd and hold it. At about 4000RPM no matter how hard u tried to use body weight to keeep the front wheel down, it would come up!! Crazy power!!!!

If you think about it, most men old enough to afford and ride HD's in the late 60's early 70's are now dead or unable to ride. Those of us who learned to ride around that time could never have afforded a Harley even if we had wanted one. We learned on the Honda's, Kawasaki's, and Yamaha's. Most of us remember them fondly. I wouldn't mind having an old Kawasaki triple or KZ900 or 1000 in my stable.

 I believe the blue bike is a 1971. Kawasaki produced one color per year on the 500 Mach III 1969 white, 1970 Red, 1971 Blue, 1972 Orange, 1973 Green.
The 1971 500 MACH III had a CDI ignition three cylinder two stroke and produced 60 horse power at 7500 rpm. 1/4 mile et of 12.4 top speed 124 mph. It was the fastest production motorcycle made until the 750 HII came out in  1972.

No actual picture, so here is a stock photo - 72 Honda CB500 bought used from a college friend.
My first 3 bikes were CB500, KZ750, Yamaha Roadstar then I finally discovered the Harley Road Glide, a bike that fits me like a glove. Since then I've had '07 FLTR and currently own '09 FLTR (Project Bike) and '11 FLTRUSE.

This is my first street bike a 1965 Honda 50. This was 42 years ago!

[ALRG8TOR]

Honda 50 with the gas tank under the seat! In FL you could ride one this size on the road when you were 15. Top speed: 50 mph WITH the wind.
