My first was a Cyclops Mini-Bike. Got it for Christmas in 1968. Thought I was the chit until my friend got a Fox for his birthday, it had fenders and everything! Soon traded up to a Honda Elsinore, then a Penton - started the enduro races at 15 and stayed with it off and on for 15 more years. Bought my first street bike, a Triumph Bonneville, while I was in college at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA. Rode it to Panama City, FL on spring break in 1977 and put a "For Sale" sign on it so I could buy a bus ticket home - what a piece of crap that was. Never sold it so I had to ride it home. A lot of bikes have come and gone since then but I have always had one or three. Most of my old photos were lost in a house fire but the memories are still vivid. Now I am glad to be in this group of elite bitchers, I think most of us deserve what we have!
Now that is funny!!!! :bananarock:

This was my second bike 1969 350 Yamaha.(picture taken in 1971) I sold it to my friend who shortly there after got hit by a car, broke his leg and collected medical costs, plus 14K insurance settlement. My first was a 67 350 which I only kept for a month because of a ticket for reckless driving. There have been countless Hondas and Yamahas which I used to buy as basket cases and turn over for cash while going to college.CAHDBIKER

Not my first.....not even close.  Started on a mini bike, then a Tote Goat, Hodaka, blah, blah, blah.....don't even think I could remember them all when I was a kid.

This is a Pan/Shovel on a Harmon frame with a Harmon front end from the early 70s.

That looks like one of my old bikes. This is not my first either, that was a Yamaha RD350

In 1970 electric start was an option and, after two "Sportster Knees" , an option I wish I had then. Great looking bike.  Doc

I have a Sportster knee so I feel the pain, my XLCH would just not grab the starter gear every once in a while, hyper-extend the knee. It ended up sending me to the hospital when the torn meniscus folded over locking my knee at a 30 degree angle. This is a pick of the bike and my second Harley but first V-Twin! Yes the frame was chromed! I think it was a 71 motor on a 69 frame if memory serves me correctly.

When I went to the hospital a couple of guys tried to straighten out my leg to put a brace on it...I passed out. Turned out to be a "bucket handle tear" like yours and it was off to surgery a few days later. Ya got to love those sporties.  Doc
