My first ever, a 1965 Honda CL72 250 Scrambler. Pic is the actual bike on showroom floor before my parents had it crated and shipped to me from Texas to China Lake, CA at the north end of the Mojave Desert where I had my first duty station after USN boot camp in San Diego. My favorite bike, and in the category of one we all wish we still owned, came a year later, a 1966 Triumph T100SC. One of the early Triumph scramblers, it was a 500cc twin with a single carb, high pipes, no battery (magneto) and weighed in at 335 lbs wet. The headlight was designed to be easily removed for off-road riding (supposedly to prevent damaging it, lol). The T100SC became known as the Steve McQueen bike as he often rode and raced one in the desert. I had a few Bultacos along the way, the last a 360cc Pursang, a Honda CL-77 305 Scrambler, and a 1971 Yamaha RT1 Enduro 360 which was stolen in 1972. I then went from 1972 to 2017 without a bike (married a medical professional), when I felt olod enough at 70 to make my own decisions and bought a Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler (one year build based off of their Bolt which was Yamaha's cousin to the HD Sportster); it was a fun town bike but whose engine got too busy (buzzy) for my liking for highway runs (it really needed a 6th gear). I traded it in for my last and current girlfriend, a gray 2013 Super T with 5,600 miles, quite appropriately on Valentines Day of 2020. Took my first highway ride on her the next day and it was true bliss.
