My first bike was a 1969 Honda PC50, a small moped that was only sold in the United States in 1969, though it was sold much more widely in other parts of the world. It came either in blue or in red. One day my dad and the neighbor went to the local Honda dealer and he came home with a blue one. I honestly don’t think he ever rode it. I was 11 years old and I immediately made it mine, riding that thing thousands and thousands of laps around a two-tier parking lot in a church near our house and what I would guess was thousands of miles through the woods. After that was destroyed, I graduated to a Trail 70 then a Suzuki TC-90 before I turned old enough to get my drivers license. Dozens of bikes came after that. With the advent of the Internet I was able to piece together both blue and red 1969 PC50s about 15 years ago, that I still own today.
