Like many of you, I learned to ride on a multitude of borrowed bikes, belonging to friends foolish enough to let me on them.
;D Mostly dirt bikes back then. It was the late 60's early 70's and I can't remember the makes or models I got to ride. I was a young punk enthralled by the sounds, smells and the freedom!! 8)
Also, like many of you, I was forbidden to have my own bike.
Later in my late teens, I managed to get my licence on a friends kz400.
I was engaged to be married at the ripe old age of 21 and started planning to buy my first street bike. Bought my first bike in March 1977. It was a '74 Kawasaki h2b 750 Triple. I know. :
That explains a lot.
I kept it at a friends house and finally got to ride it to our own place a few months later when we got married that May. Never looked back!
Traded the h2b for a new kz1000 in Sept '77 and still own that one.
I always wished I still had the h2, so finally in 2006 (the kids were all growed up and on their own!), I bought another one and still have it! 8)
