I gave up riding my R100-RT when 1 Got to 80. My first two bikes,
bought in 1950, 1951 were Harley 45's. They cost me $25 each. World
War II surplus. Double dated on on of them.

My favorite picture of my folks is Dad at 20 years old, in jeans and a
tee-shirt, hair oiled back, on an early 1950's 650 Triumph, Mom on
behind him.

I always wanted an R100. Closest I ever came was a somewhat tired Moto
Guzzi 750 Sport. My best bike ever was a customized 1973 RD-350 Yamaha.
Actually, I still have it. It was set up for production class road
racing. Rode it in practice at a couple meets, but never worked up the
nerve to actually compete. Didn't want to wreck the bike (or myself). I
had been racing MX for a couple of years, but road racing was a totally
different thing.
