Started with my first Honda trail 50 in '78.
Rode an old '81 (IIRC) CB650 in the late 80s when I couldn't afford to get my car out of the shop.
Bought my Uncle's '86 Maxim X 700 in the mid 90s and sold it in '00.
Drove from PA to WI to buy the same Maxim in a different color, last year.
Got it from the original owner (machinist for Mercury Marine) only 6k miles with original tires still on it.

Can't find pics of the CB but here is the first Maxim X with my little Polish Grandma on the back. Circa '96
Same bike at my old apartment (behind a biker bar)
Other Maxim purchased last year. Extremely clean.
