Never sell the bike you learned to ride on. You WILL regret it. And when you want to buy it back 10 years later, it will cost you a fortune.

Amen to that. It would be so cool to have my mid sixty's Honda 305 parked in my garage today. And not a replacement but the original.

That could be something every father could do for their son. Hang on to that first bike since often their responsible for the purchase and sell of that one.

I still have mine. :D Hoping to finish the restoration over the winter and ride it a lot next year.

Ouch!

I got one: NEVER Armor All your tires! No matter how careful you are, some still gets on the tread. I don't know this from first-hand experiance, but in the early '80's I did crash in the street right in front of the M/C shop that had just put a new rear tire on for me......because they slopped tire-bead soap all over the tire and didn't clean it!:banghead::scream1: Shoulda sued them. Anyways, from now on, I use a rag and isopropyl alcohol, and some sand paper to clean and scuff the tires before I roll. New bikes included. Funny thing was, the shop parts guy (a friend) saw it, came out with his clipboard laughing (you'll need a left turnsignal, engine cover......). But the same exact thing happened to him a few months later when he took out a brand new Spectre 1100 they'd just uncrated for a test ride and it spit him off and he did well over $1k in damage to it before they could even put it on the floor. Now it was MY turn to laugh!

You have a personality defect that has you signing on to boards to play the asshole until you get booted, then it's time to start over under a different name.

It is just as easy to get another women as it is to get another bike. But your bike won't get pissed when you leave it outside over night in a snowstorm. Think about that when she tells you to sell it.

On old Draftsman once told me this very early in my career:

Fixed it for ya, Steve.:D

Found this on a whim of a Google search....

"Few are fortunate enough to spend their lives amidst grand scenery with vistas stretching for miles to the horizon. When your backyard is a mountain range, a lake, a nature preserve, or even a rolling farm, you are granted an inner peace with no visual boundary. The world appears at your doorstep and anything seems possible. In the absence of such daily splendor, we tour to recharge our batteries and gaze longingly at snapshots that will forever endure."

I saw this one on a bumper sticker the other day - "I bet you'd drive better with that phone shoved up your ass."

One of my favorite quotes comes from a Navy buddy just before he let me take a ride on his 1975 Kawi Z1. - "This bike will make you shit yourself." He wasn't lying.

... The Edge ... There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others - the living - are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later.
