My buddy had a KD-80(1975ish) with a dark green tank, I was sold on getting that until I went to the dealer(Omaha Kawasaki, Dodge Street) and saw the KD-100 and proceeded to beg my parents for the next month.My second bike was a KD-80.Cool! what memories. I was the neighborhood wheelie king(Millard,Nebraska) on my 1976 Kawasaki KD-100, I was in 6th grade (my first bike).
My first bike was shared with my brother. I cant remember the name but it had a picture of a globe on the tank and the mini-bike was green.
Judging from the oil stain on his shirt, it's a Harley.My Grandmother and Grandfather(Mom's side). I believe the pic was taken in the late 20's,(but bike may be earlier model). I think it's a Harley. A buddy of mine thought the headlight might be a old carbide lamp type. Mom said Grandpa later broke his leg on that bike.
We had the same first bikes!!! Nice pic. brings back some mems. I think mine was more Gold or light green colour.my first....the mighty trail 70![]()
