New Motorcycle
I’ve been riding since 1968. My first street bike was a ’67 BSA Thunderbolt. I rode British (2 BSAs, a Triumph and one Norton) until 1981. By then, all the British manufacturers had shut down. So I went to Harley-Davidson, beginning with an ’81 Sportster. In ’82 I got my first big twin, an FLHC.…
