This is my first street bike. I have only had dirt bikes in the past, and I only went off road with them. I'm excited!
my 1st bike was a 1945 harley 45 cu. in (small twin) flathead. solo seat. tank-mounted gear shift. foot clutch
hard to ride at slo speeds/cornering
i took my driver test on it.
instructor was a tad, wide-eyed (one normally takes the easiest bike to ride for testing) he said:
"i've never had anyone take a test on a bike like this."
i hit (1) cone.
boo-yah.
my 2nd bike was a ''winnah'' ....really. it was a raffle prize.
local police raffled a 1 yr-old harley FLH-PI road king w/ 900 miles on it.
$100 a ticket w/ limited entries.
i bought 5 tickies.
i won. rode it around the summer of '03, whilst we were building a house.
kitchen cabinets?...or motorcycle?
sold it fo $15,600
i'm not a huge cycle-kinda guy. too dangerous for me.
it's not the cycle driver i worry about.
it's the blue-hair, lurching out the side street in her grand marquis, oblivious to anything around her....
crash...
