Do you ride? As a lifetime motorcyclist (almost 300K miles) there were just too many cliches for me, but maybe I’m too touchy about such.
I have 5 motorcycles.
3 actually run!..........................I’m 62 and my first bike was a Honda CB360 in 73....................
OMG! Are you my long lost brother? I’m three out of five also and 63! First bike was a Harley 350 Sprint.

Those were a great bike. Like the green. Most were that bronze that faded to an ugly color. One of my (running but not licensed) bikes is a ‘73 CB750 in VG condition in Maxim Brown Metallic.
What are you riding now?
We have two Yamaha his/hers 650 V-Stars and a Suzuki 800 Intruder Volusia.
The two not running junkers are Honda Gold wings, and 1000 and a 1200 that have gone the way of all metal in Florida..............
I had a Honda 500 that color at one time. I have had Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis and Kawasakis. Never had a Harley, but almost bought one from a car dealer a month ago, but they couldn't get it started...............
I have a friend with the same V Star. Very happy with it. My two licensed bikes are a ‘97 BMW R1100RT for travel and a ‘95 Ducati 900SS SP for fun.
