Can You Recollect Your First Bike ?
Posted by admin in riding motorcycle tips on July 17th, 2010
Can you conjure up your first motorcycle? I remember mine was a a href=http://usedmotorcycleforsale.net/finance.php target=_blankused motorcycle/a, a Honda 750 four. I bought it used in 1972 for $700.00. As I recall it had something like 3000 miles on it when I bought it. It was quite the bike for its time.br /
br /
My next motorcycle was a used Norton 750 Commando. It was a fast motorcycle its day. br /
br /
It was a John Player Special, it was about 60hp @ 7000rpm and would top out at just around 120 to 125 mph. It had a four-speed transmission, I can still recall red lining it and thinking how much faster it could have gone if it only had one more gear. br /
br /
When I was younger I was into used . Well it was not that I was so much into them as it was all that motorbike syndrome didn’t last forever though and in 1975 I joined the United States Army and the next year I paid for a brand new Harley Davidson Sportster 1000cc bicentennial addition. Although it was one of those AMF Harley’s, it was a sweet little motorcycle. I purchased it while I was in over seas and I road it all over Europe. I road my sportsterfor a good ten years after that, in 1987 I had to lay her to rest though because I had a crash. Alas, my 1976 AMF bicentennial Harley Davidson Sportster 1000cc was damaged beyond repair. br /
br /
I have owned quite a few motorcycles over the last 25 years. I have purchased just about br /
br /
every kind of scooteryou can visualize. I had a Fat Boy for a while, I owned a KZ LTD. 1000cc Kawasaki Police interceptor, and I’ve also had a couple of dirt bikes for playing in the dirt.br /
br /
Those where all good times and great motorcycle but time marches on, I have grown a bit older and although my taste in motorbikes hasn’t changed all that much I do prefer a more comfortable bike these days. The motorcycle I ride now is a Honda VTX. br /
br /
Although to some, riding a motorcycle that isn’t made in the USA might be considered un-cool or not at all patriotic. To br /
br /
them I say, GET OVER IT! Long gone are the days of my, it’s got to be a Harley or nothing at all. I am not saying that I wouldn’t own or ride a Harley br /
br /
they are stupendous bikes. I’m just saying, it doesn’t matter what the motorcycle is, what matters is that I can get out on the open road. br /
br /
I must confess my VTX 1300 is a nice comfortable ride, it is very smooth on long rides and it has all of the power I need. br /
br /
The one thing about my VTX though is, it is a 2005 and it’s getting a few miles on it. I am thinking about getting rid of it and getting a different one. I haven’t decided yet what kind of motorbike I want. I am thinking that I might not invest in a new motorcycle this time. Oh well I am not in any great hurry but I just might start looking for inquiring about a a href=http://usedmotorcycleforsale.net/finance.php target=_blankused motorcycle for sale/a.
