Hello;
My first bike was a 1964 Honda Trail 90, the one with the short piece of
chain to use the big sprocket and the big rack on the back. I was 12 or 13
yrs old and thought I was the coolest.
Terrorized every dirt road in my home town, outran the local Police, hunted
from it, and just generally wore the poor thing out. Never owned a helmet or
gloves or anything like that...no one did, never thought about it much.
Then when I turned 16 I bought a 1970 Yamaha 250 street bike, candy red,
now I WAS the coolest, bored it till it was as big as it could be, planed
the heads and filed ports and piston tops as per bike mags. It screamed till
the crank sheared off at the points end.....
Ah the young days.........
Joe
