Holy Shit my 1st street bike was a 66 BSA 650 Lighting Vs a Norton 500 Manx - We were both teen Sheep Herders around Cooks Town and wondered off to Wassaga Beach on a Sunday afternoon with our Mopeds. He dumped through a Ceder Fence after a hay wagon blocked him off with his head down a Ground Hog hole and I dumped the BSA on a Go Cart track. We both made it back home safe with a few bruses - Neither of us were SPECIFIC Licensed Motorcyclists but all you needed was a drivers License at the time. Come to think about it, I never was a legal licensed Motorcyclists even though I had a D License which included 5 ton Trucks, Motorcycles and School Busses. Then the Ministry issued me a G License which did NOT include a M License for Motorcycles - WTF - After riding and insuring motorcycles for over 30 years ?
Right Now at my age I don't care about if I ran Outlaw for awhile but WTF ?
Actually I did apply for my M Class but failed to report for the road test because my job was 1000 miles away and I never bothered - Besides I was married with kids and my wife did not want me to ride- Little did she know after she decided to leave - I had to fire up the SF as an Out Law.
Lost a lot of handing skill for that SF after all them years but I did manage another 8 years riding with another outlaw Harley 1300 FLH Buddy ;o)
He would not allow me to mount his ride and refused to mount my ride (To Scary he said) but I did ride a 1976 Harley AMX 850 Skirster for a awhile in the mid 70's and I really liked it in the city of Toronto - Dependable Smooth Silk Torque. MY 70 Breganzie SF0 was rather explosive and faster if you had the Balls to handle her racing the streets of Toronto after midnight - Been there did it. Jap bikes shift 3 times and you can do it First Light to Light and beat them ;o)
At the end gotta say that Chinese Girl on a 650 Suzuki was Queen. Followed that Suzuki to her stable and she slammed the door in my Leprechaun face - She could not loose me following her home at 4am. The thing was I had another 3 to 4 hours hours through the Cambrian Shield at night on old HWY 69 just to get myself home. Never went back to Toronto to street race after that. I did not know she was Chinese but I could see the rider was a Girl and I was supper impressed by her riding skills. She lost every street racer on the Toronto streets that night except for me. No matter how many times she shifted that Suzuki she could NOT run away from my SF through the night of street racing in Toronto. We were side by side at every red light WTF ;o(
No Way you can ride Outlaw today Car or Motorcycle. Camera's at every intersection and in between report your plates to the COP's ;o(
What really gets me that after riding Motorcycles for decades and still alive and not injured (To a Point) is that you have to spend tonnes of money to prove you can ride a motorcycle, obey traffic rules, stay alive and not risk others - Gotta say our young Motorcyclists have a lot to learn if they dare to post something like this at my age ;o)
