After learning to ride on a CB 360 (anybody 30+ has owned at least ONE .... LOL) ... I bought my first REAL bike ...
1983 Katana GS1100SD
Damn near killed myself on that bike too ... I was forced into the gravel at 150 km/h, by a vette doing my guess was 200+
I fought the gravel for at least 1000 yards, before spilling it ...
An aweful lot of bike for a 19 year old kid to pick up
I had the tank and frame repainted (forks were remarkably fine ), and sold it a week later ...
I have had several bikes since then, my absolute favorite being a 1988 GS750 (sorry ... can't find a pic) with a Wolfe 4 in 1 pipe that sounded like Lucifer growling ...
I might be moving to Calgary this summer, and if I do, plan to get a bike out there, as insurance on anything under 750cc is like $300 for the entire year !!
(hell of alot cheaper than insuring 2 cars ... and far more FUN!!)
