What was your first motorcyle "love"?

For me my first motorcycle love was also my first motorcycle. Having moved to Saudi Arabia in 1974, as a kid there really was not all that much to do. All my school friends lived on one or two big company compounds, and so they all got to hang out and do stuff after school. It was a bit different for me as my dad worked for a small Swedish company, and we did not live on a compound with a bunch of other families. So weekend fun consisted of going into the desert and having a bbq. My parents then got me a Honda Mini Trail to bring along on those desert excursions, and I absolutely loved it! I had a blast riding around on the sand dunes with that bike, and it clearly lit a fire in me that still burns bright today. When we left Saudi and I had to sell the bike I was devastated.



Many years later I was able to buy a similar Monkey that I have kept to this day.
