1) Wife and I in 1980 ( the stupid chopper era )
2) 1981 Our shop was demonstrating a new and upcoming test called, emission testing.
3) This one is a real embarrassment, the trike period. It was powered by a 1961 xlch, slow as shit off the line and about 70 mph in second.

Grandpaul,
Those 3 wheelers were the most dangerous bike I've ever driven, if they weren't flipping over they were running up the back of your shin. Lots of fun to be had though !!

Yep, mine involved a badly bruised shoulder and a bunch of scrapes when I flew off the banking on an oval track, then hit a rain gulley on the backside, flipping several times. The trike didn't get hurt at all.
 
First road bike, Honda SS50 I bought for £50. Words cannot convey the sense of excitement and freedom this little ‘ped gave me at 16! I sold it to a mate who chopped it !

I share your start in biking life. My SS50 was blue, THO 62M. Traded it in for my 250.
