I remember in 1970 working in a local grocery store my friend just purchased a Yamaha 350 Scrambler and let me take it for a spin. I thought at the time it was the fastest thing on 2-wheels I ever rode!

I when on later to purchase Yamaha's and Kawasaki's though most of my friends at the time were riding Hondas, great bikes and tons of friends, plus some minor road-rashes along the way
