In ‘71 my high school buddy, who lived across the street, got a new Honda SL100. Around the same time, another HS buddy bought a Honda SL175. We lived in rural Northern NJ, with plenty of dirt riding available. Which was great because none of us were old enough to get a drivers license. So I had to have one... except I went a different route and brought home a slightly used Yamaha CT 175. No one in my family rides.... my daughter rode for a while, but my other 2 children don’t ride. None of my cousins ride, and only one of those 2 buddy’s (we’re still friends) still rides. And even with him, I’m not sure how much. I rode from ‘71 to ‘78 and then took a 25 year break getting back in in 2003. And I’ve been riding since then. I’ve owned 2 Yamaha’s, 4 Kawasaki’s, 2 Harley’s and 2 Honda’s. And out of those 10 bikes, I still own 4 of them. I hope to be riding for many years to come.
