- 1986
started on 2 wheels in early seventies, late seventies road my friends' RM125 and CR125. Bought a Sachs moped with my paper route money in 1980 at the age of 14. 48cc plus pedal power. First street bike at age 20, Kawi GPZ550. Road it from Mass to Cali when I was 21. Bungied my book bag on the back with a few pairs of socks and underware, a couple t-shirts and a hoodie and headed down the road. My friend that road with me had a 1972 CB650 that he bought off of a priest.
MassPike to upstate NY. Herkimer NY, Niagra Falls, Sanduski, Chicago,84 West, Desmoines, Cheyenne, Saltlake, Wendover, Reno, San Fran, highway 1 to LA, San Diego. Second bike was a 1980 CB750. Burgundy. A bit clunky compared to the GPZ. Like the 4s. They sound good and don't strand you on the side of the road.
After college married a nurse who worked in neurology at Beth Israel Hospital. Nurses and bikes don't mix. After raising triplets and some three decades later I am back in the saddle again, this time on a CB650f. Maybe another cross country trip. Plan on exploring the top half of Maine come spring. Not much Covid up in the Pine Tree State. Wish me luck. I wish you the same.
