Thirty five years ago, I bought my first motorcycle, a 1971 XLCH Sportster.

September 19, 1975. Downey, Ca. This photo wouldn't exist if it wasn't for my friend Zach Ananias. I was taking pictures the day I bought it when he happened to be driving by. Also, In the background is my first car, a '71 VW Super Beetle. In many ways, the Seventies, for better or worse was my era.
I therefore dedicate this month to First Rides and that great feeling you got when you took your first ride or finally got a bike of your own.
...and oh yeah... it's 2 years for the blog on the 8th.
