IronMike Posted May 9, 2014 Share #26 Posted May 9, 2014 http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d139/usmcxterra/darkside/d0076fe4.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d139/usmcxterra/20130829_181308_zpsa58c2b6c.jpg A cool picture of me and my Roadstar on winter day in Jan. Riding two up on worst day of the year. Even the Yamaha shop was closed. Ice with snow on top. Don't try that at home and don't hate dark side tires. And my Venture 08 style on the Applaachian trail in a secret location at the end of the best road I've been on in America. Don't eat the bears!

bj66 Posted May 10, 2014 Share #32 Posted May 10, 2014 my first bike was a Kawasaki 90 Enduro (I was 8), no pic though but it looked like this. It was blue though. I followed that one with a Yamaha YZ100, also no pic. Followed that with a Honda 185 3 wheeler. Then in 1984 I bought my first street bike, a Honda CX 500 Custom and you guessed it no pic, but it looked like this one (same color even). some years later I bought and old Yamaha street bike and it got me going riding again. Which brings me to the 08 RSTD, and the '11 HD Road Glide Custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted May 10, 2014 Share #34 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Cool photos Rick but I noticed in the photos Midnight had two thumbs up to where Victory had only one just saying on second look, I see it was Nina's thumb that is the second one ... so that's still one thumb for me Don't forget your Wing that was some awesome paint work you did there Thought about that afterwards, but I don't have a "first" pic .. but here's a first after the paint work...

The Tooch Posted May 16, 2014 Share #43 Posted May 16, 2014 I know this is an older threat from last week.....but I went to see my Mother on mother's day and she got out an old box of photos. We were going through a bunch and I was getting her to put names to faces, from old pictures of pepole I hardly even remebered from when I was a kid. Then she pulls out a photo of me on my 1st bike! I didn't even know she had it. Funny when I saw it I remebered......I would've been 16 and it was the 2nd summer I owed the bike. I had just gotten out of the pool in our backyard. I threw on a shirt and tied it up to show off my belly as a joke, put a towel on the seat and jumped on the bike for a picture. Just being Goofy! It is the only picture I've got of that bike WOW! 40 Years ago. The colours were badly faded but I scanned it and brought it back the best I could. (There were a lot of colours back in the 70's and hair! LOL!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted May 16, 2014 Share #44 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Puc. I loved that 250 2 stroke. Detuned Daytona racing engine. When I asked Boston Yamaha to change the gearing so I could ride across country...the lead mechanic laughed and said..."that's a racing motor...she will run flat out all day long". And so I ran 65-70 mph all day long as he got 40mpg... topped out around 88- 90... Got to Arizona and could still wup a buddy's Honda 350 butt until I ran out of steam in 5th gear...keeping the front end up until 4th gear. I was crazy and slightly stoopid in those young years! I wish i could find the pictures I have of my trip. The pic I posted I found on the net...Some Harley guys in Alabama took some pics of me riding with them! Gave my camera back to me at next truck stop break. Fun times....great memories. david Edited May 16, 2014 by videoarizona not a complete sentence! Boo on grammer!
