I have 4 pics for you guys. The first is from 1980, I was 9 and this is my dad's new 1979 FLH Classic with custom eagles he installed on his front fairing & on the light visors. This was taken at Marcus Dairy in Danbury, CT on a Sunday morning. The white fairing in the left of the frame was my moms Honda CB 350.
This next one is of a trailer my dad & his buddies made. It's one of those clam shell dealies from Sears that goes on top of your car to carry luggage in. They welded up a frame out of aluminum and rigged up a hitch. It worked well and my dad used it for years to come.
This is my 1st bike. Suzuki RM100. My parents had a tag/yard sale and let me keep the money. The motor & trans were out of the bike. I rolled the frame home, my dad had the box with the motor & trans in his car and we got it running. That damn bike broke down so many times on me while I was far from home but I loved it to death!!!
And last but not least this was my Kawasaki GPZ 550, I don't remember what year my GPZ was but this pic was taken around 1990 because I cut my hair in 1991.

Hey leave him alone, I had a GPZ 750. It was my first legal street bike. I rode that thing everywhere. Yeah it was slow as heck, but at the time, was fast to me. Had a buddy with a souped up 80 Camero and kicked his butt. I am sure it would have ran in the 13's in the quarter(brendanp @ Dec. 16 2006,19:36) OMG Kev,I wouldn't be showing anyone that GPZ pic!!LOL
Here is a pic from summer of 1979, I was 19. That's me on the left. My friend and I were the pit crew for Mr. CC Corbin. This was taken at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, IL. The neat thing about this era is that we raced against Rusty Wallace on a weekly basis. We also raced against Kenny Schrader when he wasn't racing open wheel cars. Good times!
