Is it ok to bring this back up from a couple years ago, dust it off, and keep it going?
Good idea, I enjoy these shared memories!

Had to be about '69 or '70, when I started watchin' those B grade bike movies at the drive-in... went right out and bought my first bike... a '67 Honda 90 Dream for $150. I was 15 or 16 by then, and I've never looked back. I've have owned some 13 bikes since those days!!!

1964. I was 11 yrs old & my neighbor Floyd (the older brother I never had) was teaching me to drive his Cushman Super Eagle. "Give it a little gas & ease-up off the clutch" he said. I rolled the throttle, stepped off the clutch, & stood it straight up. OH,YEAH !! That was it !

I think it was around 1979 or 1980 me and my buddies got hung up at a creek crossing, there was five of us on our two strokes. Setting there with a smile on and waiting my turn to try and cross without dumping it in the creek or getting stuck all i could smell was everybody's golden spectro premix coming out thier exhuast (if you rode off road you know what i mean, it had a certain smell) Those were some of the best days and i knew right then and there bikes would be part of my life.
