My dear wife just turned 60. I did that same thing myself in February. Just stumbled upon this pic of Linda way back in our very early 20’s shortly after I had introduced her to the dark side. She still has a 400 four in the garage |

I got my first job testing motorcycles in 1985. 35 years later, still doing it. Still wake up every morning eager to go to work. |

Very true, although whenever I try to recall the time of a particular event from my youth I always start at ‘what was I riding then’. I remember all my many bikes over the decades and it’s funny how my memories of other events always seem to have my bike(s) of the time embedded in them. |

That's a coincidence...I was looking though an old photo album and found this picture
of myself and my mother, on the back, of my 1972 cb750. It was my first big cc bike. I just turned 77 this month.
Wish I still had that bike in my garage. |

Just curious, Moto. Say you furthered youe education, got a writing job, because of your major in english or journalism was the helper? Or is freelance work, or with a magazine full time? You're about 50 something. Rode at a very young age or started in your teens?
Curious again, but what motorcycle stands out with all the testing background? What was just a pile is the other extreme. Any year is open. Thank you. |
