Street for me, first time on a bike was back in high school on my buddy's Honda TwinStar, I think it was a 200 or 250, the next summer I bought a 83 Honda Nighthawk 650.

I started on the street nearly 50 years ago on a Whizzer motorbike and a Harley Hummer 125cc. Bet most of you guys never heard of either bike. XS

Dirt, XLR 250 Honda with street kit. Rode it all over the farm and orchards from age 7. In retrospect, I wish I still had that bike!

I rode on the dirt for six months before I was on the street. Got plenty of experience falling off! The first bike I ever rode was a Bultaco 360 El Bandito. My first bike was a Bultaco El Tigre 200.

I'd like to see a picture of that Harley. Was looking at a '52 Harley the other day while my bf's bike was being worked on. Not for a long trek....
