    I was setting up a printer/scanner for my mom and was looking through some old photos. Here I am getting my first motorcycle for Christmas, 1982, I think. Yep, when our XJ's were brand new, I was getting a 1973 Honda ST90.

    Anybody else got a cool old pic of them or somebody close on a bike? I also have my dad on his old Harley and the Chinese scooter he rode in his later years, lol.

    Sad story, this bike got wrecked being hauled on a trailer.

    Or... your dad was a horse-racing jockey ;)

    I'll dig up a shot I have of me sitting on about the same bike my dad rode in early 70s. It was a police cruiser I think.

    His was stolen by prospective buyers!

    Lol, a little of both. That was about the biggest bike they made at the time, and he wasn't a jockey, but not a particularly tall man, by any means.
