I bought my 1st motorcycle in 1961 at age 14. It was a 1958 Zundapp ISDT that the previous owner had won the old Catalina Island GP on. I raced my way to a AMA national top 100 plate in the desert on Bultacos, Montessas and Huskys. I rode from Long Beach. Ca. to Key West, Fl. and back in 9 days on a Dunstall Triumph. I was chosen from my police academy to serve undercover on a Federal task force combating biker gangs dealing drugs and guns in Socal.
During this entire period I managed to own both motorcycles and cars.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.
I'd bet most here have never even heard of Zundapp, Bultacco or Montessa.
Back in my MC riding days I found 500mi in one day to be all I wanted. I did it a couple of times but I sure didn't make a habit of it.
