My first road bike

had it 11 days and had my first accident when a car crossed in front of me...............Can't lay all the blame on the car

Took me a year to be able to affored to fix. Couldn't afford a set of muffles, (rolled up chicken wire into tight sausage about 8" long for baffles) but did to get some art for the tank

Wow! Honda CB500 Four...they don't get much more classic than that.

Wish I still owned it. Loved that bike. Mind you I seem to get attached to my mechanical machines.

A friends 74 CB 550 in the early 90s. This was the first fully legal road bike I ever rode.... it was exhilarating. I didn't yet have a moto license or even a permit yet, but would within the year. I took my road test on this bike. Sadly my friend lost interest in about a year and the bike was left to weather in a condominium complex parking lot before being twice.

Voting for Redman... Oh the memories of my mom's first ride with me on my GS750 in 1978.... I can see me and her in your picture.

Mr Dorkburgers 550 4 reminds me of the first time I was arrested on a bike. It was right after I got back from a 1000 mile trip and got busted almost in front of my house. That was a pretty good bike.

Voting for Mr Dorkburger.

 

[gustovh]

Eli’s little squirt does it for me.

Can't vote for myself so Dorkburger gets my vote for the 550/4.

Almost as good as the 500's​​​​

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

No rule that says you can’t vote for your own pic.

I’m voting for Eli69.
I think I’ve met that kid.

 

[dorkburger]

Hey all. Voting for Redman.

 

[Rob S.]

I like both those old Hondas. No accessories, no luggage carrying capacity, just motorcycle! Six of one, half dozen of the other, I'll go with Dorkburger's 550/Four. But both are totally proper scooters.

 

[marvinsc]

Went back and forth all day between Bob's wide eyed little girl and Dave's Mom pic. For sentimental reasons voting for Redman and Mom.

 

[steve murdoch]

I never could get my Mom to go for a ride on my motorcycles.
Redman for the win!

 

[trent]

Voting for Burque73

I really like the pic, reminds me of stopping along the way back to my home town.

I never got nostalgic or emotional when I traveled back in car or truck

it's been several years since I've went back to hometown on a motorcycle voyage, used to twice a summer.

Last time I did ,I left right after work six - seven hour ride, got there around midnight and just rode around town for about a bit just reminiscing about the past ,before I went to my cousins who knew I'd be late and left a light on for me.
