I learned to ride it at Parkmead school where I lived next door to and they had what had to be a 10 acre Baseball/Football field with another 20 acres of hills surrounding it. It was a good safe place to learn to hill climbing and flat track and just all round motorcycle skills that stay with me to this day. I soon ventured on to the street and was picked up by a cop on Canyon Rd in Moraga with my buddy Jim Harris on the back. No helmet, 13 years old with a passenger on back and I was having the time of my life--I'm hooked on this street bike thing.
Bad news is when they called my mom to say we have your son out here in Moraga and she said " Oh that can't be my son" and hung up the phone. My Dad picked us up about a 1/2 hour later and my brother rode the bike home. I was grounded and couldn't ride bikes for the next 6 months. Those were the longest 6 months of my life.
