Seems like there is an story behind we are dying to read... Did you find her with your best friend? Did you find her with her best female friend? C'mon, tell us the story...

Raul

Yes, and yes. And that's all I'm saying.

Jeez! I wasn't trying to start anything here! I would have posted a picture without her on the bike, but that's the only one I have.

There's really no story to it. She was dumb and easy, and I was horny and desperate, but that will only keep two people together and happy for so long. She did fool around with her female friends fairly often, which I didn't mind at all.

And she messed around with my best friend once, but I set the whole thing up with his knowledge just to see if she'd actually do it. I mean what are friends for if you can't share in times of plenty?

Allright! Can we get back to bikes now before this thread turns into the Penthouse Forums?

Raul CB750K1 · « **Reply #58 on:** September 27, 2005, 04:06:36 PM »

I have to agree with you that you must be desperate... or maybe it's just she was not too photogenic. You were better off blurring the face. You can always say it was to protect her identity as you don't have her permission...

I guess you have to be very blind not to notice when your partner will or won't do it. I'm of the opinion that a little flirting doesn't hurt, but there is a fine line that you better don't get near.

Sorry I can't tell experiences like that. My wife was my third girlfriend and we started dating when I was 16...

Thanks for sharing Bob. I have to say that with my first girlfriend, even when I was inmature -maybe because of that- I could feel something was not going well. It lasted just a couple of months, but I also learned to distinguish when two people just fit together or they try to fit but they don't.

Hey, you're the one who asked. I don't need any relationship advice now. I learned all my lessons the best way, through experience!

heffay · « **Reply #60 on:** September 27, 2005, 06:33:09 PM »

ha haaaaa... ... it was a great first street bike but damn those colors.
Honda VTR 250... the bike i was riding while some dumbass did a uturn right in front of me in a car... no helmet... hit the car at over 50mph... only a bum knee every now and again and not a scratch on me... the bike flipped a number of times... there were many scratches

the real first bike was a 1972 Suzuki TC125 w/ a dual range tranny kinda like 4low and 4hi only 1low and 1hi.

man we went everywhere on that 2stroke smoker. when i say we i mean all 7 of us biker buds that decided we should all ride one bike! i wish i had pictures of that but everyone was too busy being wasted to worry about a camera. it sat in my grandfather's barn for 15 years before dad and i found it to bring back to life (the first father son motorcycle project but not the last). the last registration it had was the month and year i was born

i always thought that was cool. then... as many do... it fell victim to thieves upon my arrival at MMI in phoenix.

Sorry Gordon, I'm very well know for giving unsolicited advice... But I won't take any.

First ever two wheels I owned was a Lambretta Li 200... I will wait for the abuse. But then I bought a 1968 BSA 250 Starfire... You think riding a CB 750 is interesting, try riding an old BSA!!
Then later, I owned a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500. Two 750 Vulcan engines welded together, OK in a straight line, but would not go round corners!

Hi...I am new here...signed on to tech forum...but, I like to BS a little too...first bike...'73 Honda CB500...brand new off dealer's floor...rode for one year, sold to my bro...he rode it until 2 yrs ago...been sitting in his barn since...I found and bought nice '75 550 last Saturday...to go with the parts bike my brother gave back....it has been a lot of bikes, miles, years between Honda SOHC/4s...but, honestly I never liked any of the many bikes I owned better than my first Honda...I'm hoping I like my "new" 550 just as much....

loonymoon · « **Reply #65 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:19:20 AM »

I posted my first bike in the "my gurl bike" thread a while back. It was an awful Tomos moped. Which I followed with an early 80's Suzuki cs125 scooter and then a new Peugeot Speedfight 100 scooter.

So i guess my first proper bike is the cb350F.

GeoffT · « **Reply #66 on:** September 30, 2005, 02:01:25 AM »

My first bike was a Honda H 100 - very poor electrics but it got me through my test - eventually.
Next bike was a Suzuki GSX 250 which I last saw lying on the road in Edinburgh after some nut u turned in front of me.
Got a GSX 400 next, Katana style, I liked that bike a lot. Sold it to buy a 10 year old Austin Maxi (that was a great car) when family was on the way. Got pictures in the loft - maybe hunt them down and post them sometime.

ElCheapo · « **Reply #67 on:** October 11, 2005, 12:03:15 PM »

1975 175 Yamaha Enduro. Funny no matter how I look I can't find a photo for it even on line. Oh well. This bike taught me a hard lesson about doing holes shots with a knobby tire on wet pavement. Lets say that it did not work well............

My mother still remembers me running past the kitchen window with the front tire straight up in the air runnig for dear life.

Fourtunately there are no scars for this. About ten feet after the window I landed in the neighbors bushes with the bike on its side still running.

My first motorcycle was a 1964 Honda 305 scrambler. My father worked for Honda at the time so getting a Honda made sense. I was 6' 4" tall and looked like a monkey humping a football. I have had a few BMWs since but I am back to Hondas. I have a 68 Honda CT90, 76 Honda CB750K and a 97 Honda ST1100.

My first bike that I personally OWNED was a 1967 Beta Scrambler 100cc 2-stroke. It was a farm bike that had a total-loss electrical system, a bent fork and aftermarket flyscreen, and it went like hell and stopped like crap, wheelied and skidded all over the place, and dumped a cloud of pollutants for blocks behind it when I rode it. Yes, it was a piece of junk, and yes, I DO still miss it.

My first respectable bike after that was in college when I had a 1981 Kawasaki CSR 305 that would do just over 100 mph flat out with my chin on the tank and arms and legs pulled in. Fun bike. I still know who owns it now but don't really want it back that badly.

No pic but my first bike was a 70's CB100, unless you count the schwinn stingray, green metalflake, 5 gear ball shifter, bannana seat and sissybar I had in 1st grade...(ah, the seventies...)

I had the dubious honor of starting out on a honda trail 70. You know, short fat tires that loved to follow every rut. Handlebars that were about 1 foot wide, no front brake. Never had a battery. flat out it could do a whopping 35 miles per hour ( could almost run that fast!)

I then got to upgrade to a 100 cc yamaha endura and I beat the hell out of that bike!

Never had a bettery in that thing either at least the brakes worked! And I could jump it! WOO HOO!!!

OK so I know it was months ago but here are the pics I said I would put on here of the H 100 and the GSX 400.

More belly and less hair on the dude on the GSX nowadays.
