Okay Bubba, here I am in 1968 on my Honda 90 - I was 13 years old:



And today, 39 years later with one of our 5 Old English Mastiffs.  That's Corey - he's 18 months old and weighs about 200lbs:

Nice wheelie, you seemed focused, but you forgot to fasten your chin strap. Also you should of been wearing boots to cover those white socks and protect your ankles.Those shoes gots to go.
   Thanks for shareing your memories.

Deuce that was not just a Honda 90 ...THAT was an S90 ....I owned one in 1967 ....right after I had a CB90 ....then a 160 Dream ..then a 305 Super Hawk ...wow ....those were the days!

KHD, you are correct.  I was proud of that S90 - my Dad had a BSA 650 Lightning.  He paid $185 for that Honda.  It was for sale on a corner gas station in Whittier, CA by the gas station attendent.  He was around 19 years old and was selling the bike because he was leaving for Viet Nam.  I'll never forget him.  He helped us bring the bike home nearly 30 miles away.  Things were different then.  You could bring folks you didn't know back to the house in those days.

I couldn't wait to get home from school everyday to ride that bike.  Those are empty lots that eventually were built on.  Sonny and Cher lived down the block and on the weekends Sonny and his friends would come out and ride on the lots with their BSA's and Triumphs.  It was a big deal for me back then, something I'll never forget.  He was friendly and always treated the kids respectfully.  In those days, most of my riding was confined to the dirt lots.  Great memories...

And history repeats itself.  I sold my 05 Ultra two weeks ago to a man I never met.  He was from Canada and wired the money to me before he even saw my bike.  He was a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman.  I picked him up at LAX and drove him back to our home.  He rode the Ultra back to Canada.  He finally wrote me the other day and said the ride was great and the bike performed flawlessly.  A good guy got a great bike:

Great story, Deucedog.  You carried the tradition on.......from the s90 honda to the sale of the FLHTCU to the Mountie.  Good deal!    har!  spyder

[deucedog]

Thanks Spy.  I have been on bikes for nearly 40 years and it has always been a rewarding experience, I have met a lot of fine folks from every walk of life and on just about every kind of bike they've made, from a Taco minibike to a Bultaco Sherpa, from a Kawasaki Bushwacker 175 to a Norton Commando, or a Hodaka Ace 100 to Honda Goldwing - it's all about the ride.

[KentuckyHarleyDude]

Got my first bike in 1963 when I was 12 ..was a Sears Mo-Pad my mom paid $185.00 for it....when all my friends were parking their bicycles in the bike rack I was riding my Mo-Pad ....I would never be able to name all the bikes I have owned in the last 44 years, the last 30 or so has been on Harley's..  I am thankful that I got to experience this lifestyle .... as of today I have been riding 44 years and still do not have a limp  ..... the good lord has always looked after me I guess.
