Another Back In The Day From Bob Ain't Stoppin'

[BobAin'tStoppin']

I enjoyed Darrell's pics and talk about former bikes. So here are a couple of pics:

First bike. My older brother is just 15 months older than me. He was a 'super student' in high school so my parents couldn't refuse him a bike in high school. I got to follow in the foot steps even though I did not excel in the grades department. Dad bought Tall Steve a Ducati Bronco at 125cc. This is 1965 or so:


After four years in the Navy, and returning to civilian life I got a Kawasaki H-1 500cc triple. Bought it for $500 with 500 miles on it. Sorry all pics of this one are lost. Got rid of it at 10,000 miles due to awful brakes and wobbles.

Next was matched Yamaha RD350 for me and the wife in about 1974. First disc brakes and a really good bike:


Here are me and Tall Steve with he wives in 1974:


I got afraid of my antics on the street and went to dirt for a few years:




For a short time I had an R50/5, but due to no power it was traded. About 1977 I'm on a TDM850 and the wife has a Seca-II. Tall Steve is on a K75:


More in a bit.
