Friday Flashback: My First Motorcycle

Today's Friday Flashback takes a look at my first motorcycle.

I couldn't afford to buy a new motorcycle when I was 18 years old...so I bought this old Yamaha 185 Twinstar and repainted it to look new.

I would highly recommended getting a low cc of around 185-250 motorcycle as a starter bike. They are easy to ride and nearly impossible to stall.

I rode this bike for a couple of years, then upgraded to a 650 and then to a 750.

...and now I'm thinking it's time to get another motorcycle...
