i, like fnfalman started out on a honda hurricane. no msf (yet) however i did read my way through nj's (excellent) state manual 2 or 3 times and it really saved my bacon in the two bad slappers i had. rode the 'cane from october to febuary and then bumped up to the 954. i never intended to jump that fast but i found a perfect example at a decent price and had to jump at it. went down on her ONCE and it had nothing to do with the power of the bike, too much rear brake started an oscillation and i didnt have the space to recover.

man i miss that bitch

My first bike was a 65' Yamaha 60cc. It was street legal but I wasn't by a few years. Rode it on the street when I could getaway with it, but mostly in the woods.

My first real street bike was a 250 Yamaha DS7 that I bought new in 72'. It was as much (maybe more) as I needed at the time and my only transportation for the next 11 months. I don't know how many times I crashed that poor thing, but I'm sure I would run out of fingers and toes before the last one was counted.
