How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

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.

At almost 66 years old, I still own and ride two Harleys (though not at
the same time). I bought my first bike in 1969. And if you like
carving mountain roads, try Lolo Pass.

Just in pictures and my imagination...and both are more than enough,
thank
you. Hey! Maybe a vivid imagination is strongly correlated to pilot
longevity?

Hah! Exactly. Those that know me have heard me say that anyone who
continues to ride a motorcycle on the street past the age of 30 is
suffering from a serious lack of imagination.

even after not riding for the past 30 years).

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.
