Damn kids. My first two wheels was a Lambretta scooter I picked it up when the US Army sent me to Ankara, Turkey, in 1960.

My first real bike was a Ducati something (single, 175-250?), about 1964. There aren't many I haven't owned, or at least ridden, and the F6B is by far the best.

I am tempted from time-to-time to pick up an old BSA or Triumph. I still have a box full of Whitworth tools and Amal jets. Then I'll have a beer and forget that foolishness for awhile.
