My motorcycling history takes a huge leap from 1958 to 1992 - no bikes whatsoever. Nose was to the grindstone with marriage, mortgage and career.
I was fortunate to be able to retire at 55 in 1992 and bought my first motorcycle (Honda Hawk NT650) in 34 years. It's been a fantastic ride since then.
During those years I paid no attention to bikes and didn't know anything about the Japanese tidal wave or that the Brits had gone out of business.
I would see bikes in the streets, but paid no real attention - although it was obvious that bikes had , and were, changing.
In 1992 with retirement pending, a co-worker bought a Kawasaki which ignited my interest and the rest is history.
I'm sliding down to age 82 and still loving every minute of it.
