Ferret, who'd have thought you were older than me! I'm 60 and have ridden since I was 18. I had to get out on my own before I could buy my first bike because me Dad wouldn't allow me to have one.
My first bike was a 1968 Honda CB160. I have never forgotten that special relationship and feeling of riding a Honda. (You meet the nicest people on a Honda.)
After that, I defected to BMW for 40 years. A few years ago I became aware of how greatly BMW's quality and reliability has diminished so I'm back to where I should be (except for a little experiment I'm trying with a new Indian Chief Classic).
I became interested in sidecars a few years ago and have had several. Now that I'm having health problems (prosthetic leg), the sidecars are becoming more of a necessity.
I am looking forward to a new DLX with a sidecar sitting next to my Indian sidecar rig. Needless to say there is no room in my garage for a car!
