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.
Phantom, with his Nikon & telephoto lens, sent it to me!
Yeah yeah yeah you guys take a look at what I have to endure for the next 10 weeks ......

Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

1985 I built this 750 Honda. Lots of memories on that thing
Big Dog was sold to some kid from Long Island and he crashed it in the first week .
Beemer found new owner in Pennsylvania . Since 2013 , he added 20.000 more miles .
If I didn't see F6B , today I would ride K1600GT . Still keeping eye in her , because you never know ...
I'm still new to riding I guess, compared to you. So many knowledgeable veterans here. My first street bike after my MSF Course was a 1994 250cc Nighthawk in 2006. Rode it 6,000 miles through four months of winter. Then I bought my present ride a 2006 1300R VTX. I had sat on a 2001 Honda Valkyrie before I bought my VTX. Loved it. It was beautiful and fit perfectly. I was not sure of myself then to hold onto so much power. I'm here to learn as much as I can from Y'all. Hope you do not mind I speak occasionally. Most of the time, I read and learn if this will be my next bike, when I am ready.
