Enjoyed Dans thread on the first cars, so we need a thread on your first motorcycle.
Mine was a Yamaha Twin Jet 100cc street bike. Like 65 or near there. I was 14 at the time. Used it to deliever the paper route and ride to the grocery store job. No pic, but one slow (20 sec quarter mile) bike.
First was a 68 z 50 honda.
I bought it with my lawn mowing money my 9th summer.
spring after next I traded it in for a brand new 1972 Indian 50, unassembled in box, that had a clutch, 4 gears, and shocks on back instead of hardtail.
I took third place that fall in nebraska state grass track championships, 80cc and under, loosing to a 75xr honda and a yamaha 80, with a crowd of eight or so bikes behind me.
Still have the trophy but wish I'd have sold it and kept the bike
Classic little Italian machine.
