I can't find the picture. It was in my mother's albums when I was young, but many of her albums went astray when she died. The pic was of one year old me sitting between my mom and dad on the chummy seat, just back from a ride. When I was ten and I learned to ride a Cushman scooter, my mom complained. I pulled out the picture and said "It's your fault." Dad laughed. When I was 14, got my scooter license, and bought myself a Whizzer, mom complained. I pulled out the picture again. Same story when I bought the Mustang scooter at 15, the Triumph 650 at 16, and on and on. I always pulled the picture and blamed it on her. My dad always laughed. Yes, it is in our blood...and if we are lucky our parents got us started. Thanks, Mom!

Equally important, are you passing it forward? I took my daughters riding at a young age and they're both motorcycle owners today.

I've been looking for the picture of my Dad and his 1935 Indian Chief.

My mother rode Indian motorcycles when she was young. Lighter bikes as she grew older. My first real bike was honda cl 350. She drove it around the block and I can still see her shaking her head as she rounded the corner. She got up to me and said all you got here is a toy boy.

I started out on a friend's Honda 50. He also had a Honda Super 90. That Honda 50 was a blast riding it all over Atlanta, GA.
My parents wouldn't allow me to have a motorcycle growing up. My Dad sold Life Insurance for a living.

Road Trip 36 year's ago
This one is from 1978. A buddy and I decided to go from Ohio to Canada in late November. It was an exciting trip and we hit some snow and icy patches but all in all enjoyed it.
My ride then was a '78 Suzuki GS 1000 dressed out with Vindicator fairing and bags. Note the Hippo hands, custom front fender and one of my first attempts at striping.
Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Hondas, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.
74 Honda 360T (pair); 78 Suzuki GS 1000 (pair); 82 Honda Aspencade; 84 Honda 400; 87 Yamaha 1100; 99 Honda Valkyrie; 01 Suzuki Burgman(triked); 02 Honda GL 1800(triked); 10 Spyder RTSE; 11 Spyder RTSM; 12 Spyder RTSL (pair); 20 Spyder RTL (current)

That's what happened to my pictures. My ex decided I didn't need them.
