The post about the Honda 450 "Bomber" got me thinking about my first bike. And then Herb
related the story of his first bike. So I dug out the photo my grandma took behind her her house in 1966. I was 16. If I remember correctly it was a 1964 HD Sprint. Of course the first thing I did was take off the front fender. Next winter I took it all apart, had it painted metal flake blue and then had to take it to a real mechanic as I put the points plate in backwards. I still have the scars on my right shin from the kick start lever. I used to sit in the high school parking after school trying to start it long after everybody else had left.
So everybody start digging around in your old photo boxes and post your first bike photo.
