Man, I could write a book here so try to be short, after minibikes/gokarts ( thats a whole other story I've posted a little here before ) first big bikes I rode at 12/13 was a JAWA & Matchless 500's, I could hardly hold up, my uncle Vern just said gas it so you don't fall over ( he was one of the grandfathers of motorcross and started with Bell in the early days and I got to hang at the Signal Hill factory when I was a kid, I've posted some of those stories here ), big difference first bike I bought was a 1965 Yamaha Riverside 55 ( I have a 68 riverside 60 still ) I jacked it up with Honda 90 shocks and took off the muffler and just ran a silencer ( got to find that pic! ), at 17 got a OSSA 250 that was so fast but no suspension!, skip ahead thru 100 or so bikes ( mostly dirt, Vintage & HD with a few crazys like the RD 400's ) but one of the few I still have is my 65 FL OG 70's custom I got from a Hells Angel ( who died in prison! ), supposedly in the mag back in the day but haven't found it, hasn't been out in a while so no good pics, all those runs we went on but didn't take many pics back then like now with bicycles, my daughter in the pics in her 30's now.
