You must have struggled owning those old jalopies!

 

Looking at these lists shows there's alot of us old guys on here.

 

Oh first three dirt bikes. 73 qa 50, 74 or75 Mr 50, mid 70s xr75 . Was a honda kid

I only ever learnt to ride a bike so I could race. I've had more racing bikes than road bikes.

85 Honda 700 Magna

 

1978 Yam XS400E
1977 Kaw KZ900-A1

Trust me, I debated posting that.

 

Nobody had a Hodaka Combat Wombat?

 

Some 1970s Puch moped.....if that counts. 198? Suzuki Savage. Royal Enfield Bullet 500.Not an impressive list, but the first one I ever REEEAALLLLLY drooled over as a youngin' was the FZR750 when it first came out,and some local yocal had one and we would see him around the local highway from time to time and just be in absolute awe. Still want one of those!!

 

Depends on the number of used bikes listed, though. I imagine it's not quite like the car threads where a lot of folks started with 10+-year-old cars, but still.
