Started on a Cyclops 5hp mini bike......uhh........ 1970 ish
Honda 50, then trail 70....then Honda Elsenore 125
Then various motocross bikes mostly Yamaha YZ models and some Kawasaki...did a bit of racing, nothing major.
Then a Honda 350 Scrambler....then the bad ass bike...1972 Kawasaki 900.. (oohh..fast. did a 10.8 second dragstrip run with with street tires)
Then I went in the Marines and ended up in California...and there were many old bikers there with Harleys. Wasnt gonna ride one of those pieces of shit (my words back then)
I borrowed an old Panhead from a friend and went to the store for cigs and beer.....when I got back, I told him how good it felt. He said, "that aint shit", you need to ride a Shovel Head. I did a week later. The torque and thump felt so good that I immediatley sold the 900 and got me an ElectraGlide and never looked back. ( at this point was eating my previous words) Been on some type of an FL ever since. (Wish they still made new Shovel Heads that were dependable)
