How Many years of street riding experience do you have?

1st two wheeler at 16...... Man where did the last 43 years go. Most of it went by fast, something to do with 2 wheels I suppose.

[Questions]

Years riding????

I started approx 1961 on an old H-D (kick start) Let's see I think that makes ------ years. What were we talking about??

 

[EddieK]

Wow, I think it started back in 65?

?? Honda 50


65 Yamaha Twin 100


68 Honda 305 Super Hawk


69 Triumph Bonneville


73 (AMF) HD Sportster XLCH, I did not have the extra $100 for the eclectic starter then but sold the bike three years later to covered my down payment and settlement cost for our new home when Lynipoo and I married. Those were the “good old days” when you could buy a new HD ride for a couple of years and sell it for more than the $1900.00 I paid for it.


25 year break for family and career, I had 3 Corvettes during that time so it's not like I didn't have any toys.


In 2001 my then 17 year old youngest son and a old friend who I still ride with today convinced me it was time to get back in the saddle so what better than a 01 HD Roadking Classic to get my grove back on?


In late 04 I was looking for something different when I found a almost new 05 BMW-LT, boy I loved that bike and not to mention the hundreds of dollars I was saving every year not buying HD tee-shirts any more, but with two bad knees I knew I had to make a change if I wanted to keep riding so last November I made the switch and now I’m the owner of a 12 Limited and enjoying every mile.

Now that I'm retired I'm looking forward to seeing as much of this great country as I can, even checking out our friends north of the boarder on my :f_spider:

1st 2 wheelers at 14 in -69 (Honda PS50, 3 speeds... Still have one!),., so it makes 42 years... I feel old suddenly!

I guess I would fall under the "New To This", but I did ride some 2 wheelers in my teens, quads and seadoos in my later years. Never to old to have some fun and that is what the SpYder is "FUN"!!!!!!!!
