Hey Wizzard, that 1946 doodle bug is a smoking machine. That thing must crank out at least 3 horses. :wink:

Hey , when you're 12 years old and you have wheels that make you totally independent and you can travel all over the county you live in , it was too kewl then................... :laughing:
Probably would be worth a fortune now as a collectors item and maybe not .
Who cares . It sure was fun back then and led me on to bigger and better rides . We all had to start some where .
Kindest regards, Wizzard

bought the bike used in the spring of 2004 with 28000km on the clock. Traded it in on a new KLR650 in June of 2005 with ~53000km on the clock

Here's my new ride (still getting it set up for LD Riding/Endurance rallies)

sorry, no pics of the KLR yet with the new side racks and aluminum skidplate mounted.

It was a beast of a machine that would produce the meanest tank slappers at the slightest provocation. Not to mention the acceleration when the V4 two-stroke engine finally woke up.
Man...four 125cc 2-strokes bangin' away somewhere north of 10k must've been a rush! 8)

Mine was a early Honda step through scooter, they were actually pretty popular in the early 60s

My first dirt bike 1968 Kawasaki 120 cc 4 highway gears 4 off road gears with a rotary transmissioin that would let you go from 4th to 1st with once miss step. Pushed home at least 50 prercent of the time.

First real road bike a Honda 450, a nice machine, it got the girls back in high school

First my friend , you need to upload them to a server some where . There are plenty of places that let you do that for free. I am sure some suggestions will follow . I use private servers so I cannot help you there . Once they are on a server you click on the Img button above on the post a reply page , enter the URL and the name of your pic followed by either .jpg or .gif or what ever format you have chosen to use and click on the close tag .
Voila , that be it .
Kindest regards, Wizzard
