I used to be an knee dragger back in the late '80's/early '90's. Then in 1992 my first child was born. He was 5 days old when I went for a ride on Ortega Highway with a friend. I had an FZR1000 Yamaha, and he had a YZR500 four cylinder two stroke. Unfortunately he had an unscheduled departure with the tarmac, and went off the side of the canyon. He lived, and still rides today. I, on the other hand, got off street bikes for 28 years. But you can never get it out of your system once you have been bitten. So I went...
Kart racing - KT100 Yamaha 2 stroke SCCA sports car racing - 1981 Mazda RX-7 Off road Baja Bug - 220 hp, 13" of travel, full tube chassis
My KZ750 resto mod I just finished is the 2nd bike I have ridden on the street 30 years. Quite exhilirating until you get your "sea legs" back. Terrifying at first, actually. I am looking forward to feeling the tracker move under it's own power!
