...I like the last quote......''it's a disease,,and once you have it it doesn't leave your body......-ever-. |
When the doctors said I was denying my intelligence if I continued to ride, I sold my 17th. and final motorcycle. I'm down to a 350 with four big fat
spongy tires. If my disease ever goes terminal, I'm gonna buy another fast motorcycle ASAP. When I bought my X-6 Suzuki in 1967, the guy I bought it
from had to show me how to ride it home. I'd never been on a bike without pedals. In '69 I set a new World Record at Bonneville on a different X-6. By
'72 I could R and R the 5 speed in a Yamaha 175 from running to running in an hour and 14 minutes in a high end shop. Though they occasionally kicked
my butt, it was all joy from there. I'm not so sure, any more, that 'motorcycles' is the disease that will kill me, but I know I'll carry the disease
'til I die. Can't wait to see the latest film! I hope some of you guys (M/F) will share what motorcycles have meant to you...
