I used to have a bike. I started out as a teenager on a Honda 125 Elsinore dirt bike.
Then one day when I was not sober, a buddy called me from a bike show in Edmonton, Alberta.
He says "You gotta come see this new bike just out, it just broke the world speed record for a stock production bike"! It was 1983 and the V65 Magna had just come out. I went to the show and all they had was 1 display bike, and a huge video screen with a constant loop of the bike doing burnouts, and a 1/4 mile in under 11 seconds at 120+ mph.
Not being sober I immediately plunked down the $4,400 and ordered me one! No experience other than the 125 dirt bike remember.
I got it on a Saturday. Sunday night (Yes, only one day later) I was heading home on it (not sober, recognize a pattern here? :sad:) and got within 1 block of home when I flipped it. $800 damage and about a pound of meat off my one leg! :D
With age comes wisdom, and I don't live like that anymore. O:-)

Ouch.. Dang Perry.. You keep riding and give up drinking and riding or just give up riding? ;D
Laid a ninja 900 down in the tunnel in Monterey California. Hit a skunk on a road king. Sold my VMax when a friend got killed on his when he took off from the group we were with to race another guy.. Put my XLCH down twice when people pulled out in front of me.. Stuck a tire through a missing plank one night crossing a wooden bridge, and decided to sell both our bikes when the twins were about three JUST so we could stick around to raise them. Never rode once after drinking, and still nearly got killed several times. Bad luck doesnt go well with two wheels.

When I was in my 20's I did stuff that was so foolish most of it doesn't bear repeating. How I survived any of it is beyond me. Truly stupid, stupid, stupid.
In the early 80's I was netting over $800 a week paid on Thursdays, and was living on 79 cent packages of noodles by Tuesday. Take stupid, and add liquor, and it wasn't pretty.
Sorry Mammapoppybee..... :hijack: Way off topic.
We now return you to your regular viewing channel. ;)

I got my first motorcycle in the Navy.
Cop wrote me some paperwork for driving my chevy with a few too many and my insurance went up so high I could not afford to insure the car so I rode my bike until the exhaust fell off. Then I did the same to the next one. Rode it 24/ 7, rain and snow, hit dogs and cats, laid them down in the snow and ice, wore out rain gear, had an account for stitching up the leather jacket. When I got a truck at work and the clear record that bike sat there until the gas tank rusted out.
never anything that nice.
