So he could have had a Kawasaki 1000cc and his uncle would have passed it for inspection. was it a Vulcan 750 back then.but the guy who did inspections was his uncle. I don't think it was legal for a 16 year old with a 400cc bike.I may be wrong because I had a 250. The only exception was my buddy with the big Suzuki DR 400. We took our bikes to him, he inspected them, saw that they had a horn and a mirror and we knew the hand signals.Īfter inspection we got them insured for the street.
These bikes had a headlight and a taillight.not a break light.so we had to know the hand signals for turning and stopping. We turned them upside down.they hung down below the handle bar.not sticking up above the bar.ģ. A universal motorcycle mirror on the left hand side. Put a squeaky.you know the bicycle horn where you squeeze the bulb and it honks.put one of those on it.Ģ. I had a 1980 Yamaha IT 250, some buddies had Kawasaki KDX 250's and one buddy had a Suzuki DR.I think it was a 400 or a 460.Īnyways, the local car dealership and owner knew us and had kids our age in Middle School and High School.ġ. The Hartwell Lake Poker Run benefiting Meals on Wheels will bring more than 200 boats to Hartwell Lake and Big Water Marina the weekend of June 23-24. Don't know about now, but back then (1980-81) we did it. Man.this thread is taking me back to 1980, when I was a Junior in High School.Īnyways, yes.we did that back then.
