I am just trying to negotiate thru the site, social media is challenging for seniors.

First bike was in 1962

Ohiomoto, to answer your question my first ride was a 1953 Harley "61"
with foot clutch and 3 speed on the tank. Also had a 650 Triumph back when it was considered a big bike. Later a Honda Shadow......then kids/grandkids

Anyone else out there from Burlington or southern Ontario? I am 60 miles from Buffalo.
