What bikes have you owned?

Here's some pictures "borrowed" from the web of the "Old" bikes and from my collection for the 3 ZRX's.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

My first two wheel ride (in 1971) was a early 1960ish Cushman Scooter,

it had a 2 speed transmission with a suicide clutch. It was in bad shape but could be ridden by a 14 yr old looking for fun.

My first street bike was bought in the Summer of 1973, a used 1970 Honda CB175 when I was 17.

My first new street bike was a Maroon 1974 KAWASAKI 400 S3 Triple originally purchased by my brother. This bike could take the 1974 750 Honda off the line and midway thru 3rd gear, after that it was all Honda.

Sold the S3 Triple a year later to my girlfriends brother and bought 2-1975 RD350b's. The Yamaha's handling was refined compared to the S3.

Then, I found the UJM's and bought a new '82 GS750[SIZE=10pt]E[/SIZE] in June of 1982 and had a blast with it. :thumbs:

In May of 1983 at the request of my ex-wife who was 6 months pregnant with our first child I sold the Suzuki and didn't ride street bikes again until 2004 when I bought the 2001 ZRX.

Sold the 2001 in March of 2007 and bought the 2002 and 2003 in 2007

Also in 2007, the next generation of the Frewil clan started riding.
