    I was a junior in high school. I didn't get my first bike, a Kawasaki KZ400, until March of 1978. Rode that for a few years and then bought a slightly used 1978 GL1000 Goldwing with Vetter fairing, bags and trunk.

    I had been married nearly two years and had a daughter who will be turning 40 in a couple of months. I was an engineer and just hired on at Ford Motor Company in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Money was tight so no extra cash for a bike.

    By 1975, I had been working for 8 years with Duke Power Co., had 2 sons (ages 2 & 4), and was racing dirt bikes (Bultaco and later Maico). At the power company, we had some pretty cool guys working as linemen. Very often, these characters were adventurous and real characters. I'll never forget first talking to one of those guys who was the best motorcycle racer around. When I asked him about the best way to learn about riding, he simply replied, "start racing, you'll learn real fast". Well, I did that and he was right, I learned real fast but it was pretty painful along the way. Those were good days .

    I was learning motorcycles don't float

    I was a kid, and that was about the time I drove my uncle's 50cc Honda into an irrigation canal. I was very fortunate it was full of water. The bike, not so much ...
    He has since offered to come visit and ride my motorcycle into my swimming pool. The great thing about families - they never let you forget anything!
