Rear tire Size
On the old front - The bike I have now (76) I thought was sooooo cool when it came out. I desperately wanted one, but at age 13 my dad picked up a 68 Bultaco matador for me. I hated the way it looked, but loved having my first bike. I wished I still had that old Bultaco. Now it's cool. sigh. I do some volunteer work with some guys, most of whom are 19-20. One of them caught the old bike bug and got a 77 CB550 and is restoring it. I feel like I've passed on the legacy. :) My son (10) has a restored 72 SL100 and enjoys it but is always looking over the fence at the newer stuff. We went riding in one of the off-road areas over the summer and after keeping up with all the hot shots all day on his 'ancient' bike, he announced at the end of the day, "mine looks totally different and theirs look all the same, and gee dad, you were right, mine is just as good, or even better than theirs!" Old is good. :) |
