Stanman Posted November 10, 2009 Share #102 Posted November 10, 2009 I'm 50 y.o. and thoroughly enjoy riding my '86 1st Gen. I started riding when I was about 16 on a Honda 250 dirt bike. I went from that to a Kawi 400 twin before I traded it on a new 1980 440 LTD. After a couple of years on the 440 I traded up to a new '82 Yamaha 550 Maxim. I loved that bike and at times wish I still had it, but I was young and had the need for more power so it was traded on a very good used 750 Maxim. I sold this machine in the spring of '87 because I thought the insurance was much too expensive for the small amount I was able to ride. I was without a bike until 2003 when I bought an '84 1000 Virago, then in the fall of 2006 I obtained the '86 VR I have now. I just realized the vintage of my bikes hasn't changed much, I simply took an 18 year break from riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been riding since I was 17 except for a few brief periods of time. Have my somewhat ideal trio of motorcycles now. Yamaha Tour Deluxe for long rides Triumph Thunderbird (2001 900cc triple) for short trips Suzuki 200cc dual-sport for riding the forest service roads and trails.
