Sorry, do not have a digital pic. Will scan one when I get home. My wife delivered our first child yesterday.
Bought it in 1997 for $2300
Wish I still had it, and would consider buying another one if the right deal came along.
 
Aeon,

The year was 1978 and I bought 1974? Honda MT 250. I had 3 friends all with Honda Trail 70s and I wanted a bike so badly.

My older sister dated a guy going into the Navy. He was trying to sell that bike but no takers. He liked me and said it was mine for $200. I think I only had saved up $180 and it was mine.

God does this bring back memories! I too rode with euphoria all over southern Az. My parents would of killed me if they ever knew so I hid it out in the desert behind our house! They never knew I broke my arm as I tried to jump a wash on it.

I used to get chased by the cops as I was only 13, no helmet, no license, nothing but gas money. I would ride it past the local police station on the way to the public pool w only shorts, towel and flip flops.

I was so skinny that if I ever dumped it, I could barely get it back up! I learned how to ride on that thing as the only training I had was from a few rides on the trail 70. Going down large washes too fast hitting deep soft sand, eating it! Ha, wow.

I thought I was so cool and it was a blast. Can't believe those days. So care free. Those cops would chase me if they saw me riding, but I'd go over any curb and right out into the desert. They would come pounding on my door..."He has a motorcycle, riding on the highways..."

I'd swear to my parents that it wasn't true, just someone who looked like me! Ha...man.
Aeon, many thanks. It was the best of times.
 
God yeah! Could it get any easier to work on that bike?

Any thanks for all the help brett. Your advice and links helped me go from being scared as hell to buy a Duc, to "how many Ducs can one man possibly want".
 
Last year. Bought a 07 Ninja 500 off a buddy. Paid cash and had to have a friend ride it home. I had never driven a stick, nor even sat on a motorcycle. Rode it for 2 months, traded it in for an 848, one month later was learning wheelies. Just got her out yesterday for the first time this year.
