Where it started for me

This is me at the whopping age of one year sitting on my dad's motorcycle, that's him and my older sister behind me. This is the only shot of this particular bike. A few years later my dad couldn't justify the expense of owning motorcycles and raising a fmaily on a carpenters wage. Later in life he did by a couple Honda's, a 160 and 350, until he wrecked the 350 and broke his leg. He had owned a variety of bikes along the way including a Henderson. Picture taken June 1953.
