First bikes surviving the tender care of a young lad must be a rare thing, I know my own first bike didn’t have the easiest life... I rode that think continuously!

my first motorcycle is still in the garage though, a 77 Jawa 350 I bought new. I was a bit upset when it qualified for historic vehicle plates, and that was 20 years ago!

Better than I ever had, I did have a cool mongoose I still have the Redline neck that was on it, Uber rare gem, my second bike was a Schwinn 20” fastback? 5 speed stick shift, but everything got left when we moved to Cali , rode in a motorhome coast to coast with 9 people and two dogs, found this Murray frame and fork at the dump and motto’d it out 1975? ‘76?

Got made fun of a lot until I scored the mongoose I love showing off this neck, no one knows what it is lol 1st gen redline

I'd say this was '77. My first bike. I rode that sucker all over the neighborhood.
