I rode a Triumph Trident when I was only 18. Wish I had that Triumph still. It was an excellent bike. Quick but not super fast. Seems like the bikes and cars you had as a kid always have the fondest memories. I still own my first vehicle. A '57 F100.
I had a friend with a Kawasaki 500 Mach 3 triple that would kick my arse regularly. That was a two stroker and super fast.
I have been riding Harley Police Specials for years. Even tested Kawasaki Police Specials , BMW and Honda.
I have been reflecting a lot lately.
