See a lot of people riding Big touring bikes these days. Always makes me wonder what their 1st road bike was?
Mine was a 41 Flathead Chopper , jockey shift, extended springer, King & Queen seat, broke down more than i rode it. But it was mine!
What was yours ?
Sporty 1972 chromed out kick only with an 8 over fork
My first road bike was as I remember a 1952 K model. That was back in about 1960. I tore up the neighborhood, I was about 16 and been riding and tearing it up ever since !
1969 Victor BSA
First two wheel however was a Ballon tire bike with a 3 h.p. sidewinder briggs. Fan belt drive with a dryer drum pully hose clamped to the rear spokes. Built it when l was nine. Met a lot of cops till l discovered every cut through yard and ally of the south end 1963
I think we tried to attach a Briggs to one of our bikes back in the 60`s also. Never could make it work properly
