Your Last Bike Before the CB?

[the Ferret]

WOW LongRanger that 73 RD is gorgeous.. sure brings back some memories for me. First street bike I bought new as an engaged man. I was 23 in 1973 and sold a pan head Harley chopperto buy one about 7 months before I got married. My wife and I toured 2 up on "ours", of course we were much younger, much skinnier and able to put up with the rigors of riding 2 up on such a small bike. Had a Yamaha luggage rack and backrest. We even carried camping gear (a small 2 man pup tent and a blow up air mattress. We covered up with our jackets and rolled up sweatshirts for pillows.) lol. Boy those were the days. I saw one not too long ago and man was it little. She has been my touring partner ever since so she must not have minded too much, although now she prefers the rear pillion on my ST 1300 with passenger floor boards and a trunk to lean on, and a Holiday Inn Express for bedding .
