A 1970-something Honda XL250 that somebody abandoned at one of my father-in-law's rental houses. I got it running one weekend when we were visiting and he gave it to me. When I got it airborne on a bump right outside their kitchen window, he laughed so hard my wife thought he was going to break something.

1969 Suzuki GS 400. Went to Chicago to pick it up. My dad drove it back cuz the spokes were loose in the front wheel. A little wobbly for a beginner at the time.

First "bike" was a "Bird Manufacturing" rigid minibike with a 3hp Briggs...soon blown up and replaced with an 8hp 2 smoke tecumseh.

My first "real" motorcycle was a 1965 Honda C200 Dream...90cc of pushrod iron. Rocker forks, pressed steel frame and oh so giant flared fenders. I went EVERYWHERE on that thing.

First motorized 2-wheeler: Moto Morini moped, yes, pedal to start plus FUEL-IN-FRAME!! Used to smoke Honda Passports all day long on that...

First motorcycle: 1981 Suzuki TS125, eventually mutated into a cafe racer!

Wish I could find an old Suzuki RS250 and make a motard out of it... : )

Bridgestone 175 of unknown vintage. Very fast for a 175. Then, a Honda 450CB and a Honda 450CL (my father totalled a Buick with the CB) followed by Nortons for the next however many years, followed by the M2.

1973 Honda XL 250.

Funny, seems like Honda got strong based on their wide range of beginner bikes that fit all needs back then. Sell 120,000 "everybody bikes" making a profit, and 50 "full race bikes" a year for experimenting and testing as a write off.

First bike I rode on was the back of my neighbor's trail 90. Lot of my buddies had S 90's.

It sounded like it was going to explode at any moment, but it never did. Probably needed a new cam chain. I rode the crap out of that thing.
