Motorcycling for 60 years

[GrayWolf]

Sixty years ago today I purchased my first motorcycle. It was a 1950 500cc AJS,
the first production bike with swinging arm rear springing. I have never been without a two wheeler since then and had twelve different bikes. I learnt to ride on a 1936 Harley which had a foot clutch and a hand gear change. Now I am nearing 80 I have a 400cc Burgman scooter, step through which is easier to manage as
I get older and it has a better performance than my 1952 purchase.

Thanks for the post DougB. It makes me feel much younger, bein' as how I've only been at it 43 years. Guess I have a long way to go!

So all you young whippersnapers who like to call me old can shurrup for a bit. Come back in another 17 years...

Happy riding for many more years Doug.

Yeh second that, Slofox, Congrats DougB, I'm only a 37year man, so still got the cradle marks on my ass in comparison.......
