I haven’t had a motorcycle in a long time but here is my first. Honda 80 I bought for myself on my birthday when I was 12. My mom tested it to make sure it was solid. Yes, my Mom! She was a rider along with my dad. My first rides were in the womb. Here is my Honda 80 and my mom’s Suzuki 400! My older brother sitting on my dads bike in the corner of the pic.

I took a demo ride on this bike Saturday and now I’m trying to convince myself not to buy it, I’ve got no room in the garage…View attachment 277371

Get it! Do it! This is your conscience speaking. You don't actually need any space. Buy this bike
and the space will reveal itself! Now go! And ride!! 😏 You know you want to. Go.
 
Yeah - do it. If I was buying a bike tomorrow it would be a Triumph Scrambler 1200.

C. 2005 and I was working for Kiwi Rider Magazine - we took the 885 on a hard-core adventure ride - and it nailed it. At the time much of the world press was saying 'don't take it off your driveway'. We gave it heck and it was great.

I started a thread over on ADVrider about it - and it's had a couple of million views and thousands of replies since.
I've wanted one ever since.

The stuntman and I swapped bikes for pics. The bloke riding is actually the Yellow Power Ranger. True.
