I learned to work a clutch and change gears on a 2 stroke Kawasaki 500 when I was 16.

F'in fantasic!!! Yeah mine was the 73 model, if you notice in the pic, the one pipe has a nice gouge in it, and it doesn't have any turn indicators, the guy dumped it and broke them off on the right side, so he took all of them off. I bought it for $1300 as I remember. My stepmom co signed a loan for me.Hey Bucky I found a video of Jay Leno riding one of the old Kawasaki H2s, and then the new one.
Builds character!!I dropped mine at least twice. Just a dumb ass kid. Scraped a bunch of skin off my arms then rode it home. Dad took me to the ER and Nurse Ratched scrubbed the gravel and asphalt out of my arms with a brush.
Oh wow, beautiful bike my friendOh yes........had bikes for years, mostly BMW........currently riding a BMW R1100R with Givi screen, handguards, engine protectors, panniers and Givi top box with back rest.
I reckon I've easily ridden over 60k over the years.......here's a video I did a few years back when I had aBMW 1200 RT......
Here's the ride home from work on my current steed, film shot with a Go Pro cam mounted on top of the crash helmet.
Did a 500 mile one day ride a few yrs back - up to the Lake District from the Cotswolds where I live - up to Ambleside on the Mway, peeled off there and rode over the three highest passes in the lakes, then back the same way, stopping at Lake Windermere for an ice cream at 4pm......eventually got home around 9.30pm, having left home at 5.30am.
I love the freedom the bike gives me.
Here it is...........nothing special, but it's paid for and it's mine.

My son (now 25 with a daughter of his own) on another of my beemers, an 1150 GS.......great bike but a bit tall.......
Sold that and then had the older 1100 RT............very capable mile muncher with heated grips and electric screen........I named it The Pathfinder.........
My favourite photo of the 1200 RT, affectionately known as The Panzer...........
