What did you used to ride? What are you riding now? Which one did you love the most? What’s laying in a torn apart pile in your garage? Any stories behind them?
My first squidbike. Rode this thing EVERYWHERE, but then I busted the 2nd/6th gear dogs. Successfully replaced them, but it leaked oil from then on from splitting the cases.
My second less squiddy bike; I really loved the SV. Great handler after the RT prog springs and Penske rear shock were put on.
Number 3. I could never get the hang of riding this correctly. It wanted to go very fast and I didn’t.
Number 3.5 (basketcase). Rode it, like, twice. Intended to restore it, but ended up giving it away for free. It was super dangerous to ride (i.e. brakes? what are brakes?).
Current (old man bike):
1981 Honda XR80. This was my first and favourite bike. It was slow and lagged on serious hills. If you dropped into a rut, you weren’t getting out. I broke my collar bone after flying off of it. But it was so much fun. 10/10 would repeat.
Had a couple of other bikes later, but you’re only ever twelve once.
