My first motorcycle was a Kawasaki KD80. It was 1984, and I was seven years old. I don't recall exactly how I came to own it, but I remember driving by this guy's house and seeing the bike out in the yard. My Dad and I stopped to talk to him about it. Some time later, I was riding it around the house.
I thought I was a champion motocross rider, and we quickly branded it #7. If there was gas in it, I was riding. If there wasn't any gas in it, I was begging my Dad to buy more.
I have fond memories of that little bike. Thanks, Dad!
