    True all the riding we did on them, and we rode them hard, they just kept on going. We were young and just wanted to ride back then, not have to work on them much, or knew how to either, as a teen. :)

    I got to ride my sister's boyfriends Kawasaki, I was about 12 y.o., first was a 350, then a 650, and a 900. All were fast.

    Evel Knievel was the pioneer of distance motorcycle jumping. And for his efforts, he paid the price. He crashed more than 20 times and suffered numerous injuries, mostly broken bones.

    Amazing photographs from the 1970s featuring these extended front (long forked) motorcycles. Don't look for helmets in any of these photos - you won't find them.

    None of these famous people are members of the forum, and the thread asks whether you do or have ever had a motorycle.

    That's true, should I try to remove them?

    No, it's not that big of a deal. I'd just like to get things back on track, is all. The thing with threads like this is that, while you may have exhausted the members in the forum right now who have had motorcycles, new members will join and add their own to the thread, as long as it stays on topic.

    Oh, ok. A lot of them have passed too. I will wait and see if anyone posts on the thread. Was just trying to keep it going.

    I had a Honda 90. I think it was a 1968 model, like this, only blue, but not in such good shape. It went pretty fast for a low CC.

    I also had a 1965 Yahama 80 that looked a bit like this one, I think. Also pretty fast for such a small bike.
