Newbie here, returning to riding after a 20+ year hiatus.
Brother-in-law dumped an old Honda on me (73 CB350G Super Sport). I spent a year getting 'er running then, to my great shock, I had to pay DMV $$$$ in back licensing fees Sure seems wrong! Gees! Everytime I turn around I'm paying the state of California for the privilege of doing things it seems my exorbitant taxes ought to have covered :-/
Anyway, It is amazing to me how quickly riding returned to being just a natural thing... like a fish returning to water :-)) LOVE'N it!! I've rolled just over 1000 miles this summer :-)) GREAT fun but I already want a newer bike!
