For me, it started in the early/mid '60s, at the Santa Barbara County fair. The local boat shop, Speed Marine, had a display of shiny new Hondas; I fell in lust at first sight of the Super 90. ;D

i dont go back that far and no honda dealers in israel back at the time :)

first one that did my head was in 1972, a overseas tourist with a UK plate 750 pulled into our condominium parking lot with a metal flake silver painted tank.  Was so totally out of this world, looked huge and glam. I was 10 yr old back at the time, that bike is still stuck in my head.

I'd love to get one of the scramblers to fix up.

I'm sure there's many that remember Russ Collins.  I bought a lot of stuff back in the 70's from RC Engineering to try and beat one of my buddies that bought a Kawasaki 900.  I never raced him with this bike, but had a pretty fast RC 1000 big block motored CB750.  Now I just tool around on a RoadStar, no more going that fast.
