Summer after high school, many of my buddies were riding motorcycles, so I couldn't be left out. I forget if my brother sold this or gave this to me. Side note: My brother is kinda famous in the Seattle as an all-around "motorcycle" guy. It was a fun summer, and I commuted to university with this through the fall, but when it got icy, I hung up my helmet. Also, almost all of my buddies had crashed by then, I wanted to avoid that fate! A fun summer.
