My first street legal bike, 1981 Honda CB400T
I was skinny and had hair at the time. Yes there's a little bit of mullet there. Digging deep into the family archives, my grandpa on a 1936 harley. He's been gone for 30 years, but I keep this pic on my fireplace. So do I win the award for oldest pic of a family member on a bike?

Circa 1977
Pictures of my old Norton 850 Interstate in the crate and on the road. The Interstate was just like the Commando except that it had a 6.5 gallon gas tank and a 19 tooth counter shaft sprocket (the Commando had a 17 tooth.) My Norton would eat Harley Sportsters for breakfast even with the large counter shaft sprocket. The biggest mistake I made was putting the Norton on the road after assembling it. It was a beautiful motorcycle. I wish I had just put it on display in my living room.

I've been trying to find my very first "bike", which was a 1972 (or so) Rupp Scrambler when I was about 8. I remember the small town police taking it away from me for a month for ridiing it on the street.

Sorry for condition of this ancient, scanned photo. Me around 12 years old? 1962 or 63?
my older neighbors AJS 500 single My best bud and "mentor"...he had go carts, mini-bikes , dirt and street bikes . At 16, he had a Honda CB160 street bike, NO motorcycle licence required in NY at that time...the year escapes me, if you had a bike registered at the time, you were "grandfathered" in to being automatically issued a motorcycle licence. Yup, I'm a dweeby little kid, and it can be argued I am still a dweeb. Meh.

At just 12 years old, I was allowed to ride it under strict supervision and very limited speed, area, etc.
Not sure of the model, but I'd guess from the mid or late 50's? Would be a collector bike today, properly restored. The same neighbor had a bud with a Ducati single "scrambler", my first taste of Ducati. They worked on them in his garage. Ducatis were always reveled as special, even back then in the early 60's. I remember discussions prior to buying..."how is it for parts"? He then ended up with a CB160...a screamer in its day, and a local supporting dealer close by. Years later, also my first legal street bike...but no pics. Till the late 70's-80's when cameras became more accessible. Here's my '78 XS750 Yamaha, my first NEW bike. Worked at the dealer, the owner cut me a helluva deal. Again, a lousy old paper picture.

Bridgehampton Raceway, mid to late 70's , this was for an endurance race... not sure of proper name for the type of start...riders opposite their (non-running) bikes.....at signal, run across track, bump start bike and go. Other than that I have no remembrance.
