Bought a 250cc Ducati from a guy at College for $120 with helmet in 1968. Got a set of plates and Insurance and took off with a bunch of guys to a concert called Woodstock not far from here. Got a License a few years later. I actually learned how to properly ride from an MSF course I took 10 years ago. I had some baaaaaaaaaaaaad habits to unlearn.

That duck would be nice to have now eh Bobby?

Yeah you never forget your first even if it was a bit sub par ;D. It was a strange bike, but, she never let me down. With one   cylinder she shook like the Dickens. I had to tighthen every bolt about once month. Yeah I would say I would have some fun with her now. It was pretty quick, I could give a 350 Honda a good run and sometimes out drag them. I never do that type of thing anymore.  ;)

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
