Started out with a Marlin single shot .22 rifle when I was around 10, Dad hated guns but wasn't real fond of constant nagging either. When I turned 15 started biking with a Honda CB72, 250cc, which the whole world referred to as a "Harley", nobody even knew there was any other manufacturer (1961).
My last bike went away on the evening before my 49th bday, as being too dangerous for me to keep on with, slowing reactions, more brittle bones, etc. That was a Honda CBR900RR, zero to 100 in around 4 seconds, 165 top, and weighed almost exactly the same as that CB72 so many years before.
Interesting, here, I gave my bike up as too dangerous, yet I ain't about to give up my guns, since I consider them MUCH safer than a superbike, with over 30 years experience with both. Anybody trying to outlaw bikes?
