My first bike was a ZX-14. I got it when I was a kid and I will never forget how excited I was when I brought it home. It was like yesterday, I was 13 years old, and I had saved my whole life to get enough money to buy a 14.
I can never forget all the times I went WOT and pooped my pants, did those accidental wheelies at 120 MPH just because I dumped the clutch too hard.
And then there was all of those Honda Super 90's that thought they could out run me.......sheeeeesh!
You see I wasn't born a baby, I was born a man and fate dictated that I start out on a ZX-14!

I don't remember what I paid for mine. I was 15 and working a food joint job in smallsville Idaho. The assistant manager's husband sold me the bike. He used it for a commuter doing about 40 miles round trip per day when he took it, but he hadn't used it much. Came with white fiberglass saddlebags that had to go away quick.

my first bike was a 1984 Honda XR80. It was also the first motorcycle I ever rode; sketchy clutch-work in the shops' parking lot

first street bike was a 1993 ZX-6; did much better in their parking lot despite it snowing profusely
