Pic of the week game

LOL, yeah. My oldest stepson was born when I was 14, his oldest stepson was born when he was 17.

Lol...ok that makes a little more sense

It's didn't used to be all that remarkable in Scotland and Ireland for young'uns to get wed and start popping them out at 16. I knew quite a few grandads who were in their early 30s, and many more in their late 30s.

That's actually where my ancestors on both sides are from, coincidentally, according to my DNA tests.

Also coincidentall, or not, is all of our kids and now oldest grandkid (step- grandkid if it matters) riding motorcycles.

bob, you packed up and running away from home.?... looking off in distance in direction you are heading...... (same look on face as a more recent (year or two ago) selfie of yours on remote road with bike)

[Redman]

I know I have older pics of first bike in 1979 (kz400)......
But I found this 1983 pic.....


Daughter in front (I am presntly at her house with two kids).
And, yep, that me (if you wonder where the Redman name came from).
JustinRedmanson (that some of you have meet at BC rallya few times). That is the bike he learnt to ride on.

how about a pic from your youth....or one of your oldest pics of your motorcycle?

This is the first pic of me on my first motorcycle, waaaaay back in 2008

My wheeled roots reach back to long before we felt the need to document it. Mini bikes, go carts, etc. Heck, we may have been 30 something years ahead of the current off road mower trend. The oldest machine (timewise) of mine I have pics of... Honds's absolutely brilliant ATC 250r. Mine was a 1986- the watercooled swan song of the range. I was a bit of a cocky bastard hillclimbing and ripping around in the sand pit on that thing.

Don't have a scanner so this will have to do.
My first NEW bike, a 1973 Honda CB350 purchased 50 years ago next month for $1099.00.

[trevor]

Wow guys...this has been really fun getting to see stuff from your youth and to hear the stories....thanks

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Glen, that 250R was a monster. When I was trading up from the Yamaha 200, I picked the tamer 200X when I bought new in ‘86. Even that got me in enough trouble. I think the 250 2stroke racer would have killed me. And that’s a fantastic pic. Can I vote now?

Last minute entry. First picture I have of me with a motorcycle--from Aug 1969. I purchased it new in Portland OR and rode it cross country to Ft Gordon (Augusta) GA coming back from my last VN gig. There are better bikes for touring.

Good Morning and Happy Friday, GSR! Let's review our photos and vote...

Great turnout this week! Fun photos! Thanks!

Don't forget to vote, and if anything is amiss, please let us know...

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Great Stuff, all!. Gotta vote for my fellow three-wheeler, Dorkburger. We used to ride in the same kind of stuff, but here in central PA, the sand dunes and hill climbs are black coal from abandoned mine lands.

[steve murdoch]

That hooligan Rich gets my vote.
I bet front tire mileage was excellent.
