When I got into motorcycles, the popular Japanese and Brit bikes were
mostly 125-250 to maybe 500 cc's, and pretty lightly built. With some of
today's bikes, you'd need a crane to get them upright if they tipped
over. I don't remember what the top speed of my Honda was back then,
probably because I never hit it. I know the speed limit back in the day
on the Kansas Turnpike was 80 mph, but I never did more than 60 or so.
My 1st bike for a whole day was a Honda Cub, if you could call it a bike.
I bought it from a neighbor friend.
The very next day as I got off the school bus I noticed a fire truck in
front of our house, When I got to the driveway there was my Cub burnt to
a crisp, and my Mom standing off to the side next to a empty gas can.
Thats how I found out my Mom didn't like motorcycles.
Yikes! My mom only wanted to do that to a couple of the girls I dated!
