Who here is into bikes??? Just got my first one
Really like the photos of the old bikes, guys. I started off with a 250 cc Benelli (used). In the summer of 1972, I bought my first new bike, a CB500F. Sold it two years later with 20,000 miles on it. If Uncle Sam hadn't been hot for my bod, I'd still have it.
I don't need one of them crotch rockets or poser cruisers these days. I needed something cheap to own and operate. I'm secure, so laugh all you want. I average 120 mpg and top out at 40 mph. When gas was $4.00 per gallon I could lay a five on the 7-11 counter and say, "I'm fillin' up and coming back for the change."
BTW: I rode to a Mopar Club meeting and brought a part with me. One of the guys asked if I brought that in on my hawg. Another responded. "That ain't no hawg, it's a piglet." And thus it became so named.
