Not sure what year model, mine as a Yamaha 360 enduro, army green color, was a hand me down from my uncle.  :bikerider: :thumbup:

My 360 Enduro was about 1975. Street legal dirt bike. Was there anything but Army green?

The one and only citation my wife ever got, she was sitting in front of me on the Enduro as we idled down Galveston's west beach. The local cop wrote her for operating a motorcycle without an "M" endorsement. I was drivnig the bike and she was mad as hell ... at me!

And that reminds me of that pink bikini; Been married to that sweet thing 35 years last month.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally wornout, shouting..."What a Ride!"

I had a second hand Yamaha 125 dirt bike in the early 70's that I bought from a "friend". Pushed and worked on it more than I road. Then in about 75 I bought a used 70 or 71 Yamaha 650 that the clutch slipped in all the time. Spent a long time without until I bought the X in 03. Sure was nice having something new.  :bikerider:

My first bike was a '73 Honda CB500-4 that my Dad bought for me and my brother.  My first new bike was a '83 Honda CB1000c that I just loved.  I sold it back in '90 when I needed to have a new car and was away from bikes until I bought my current bike, '02 1800c.
