Thought someone might find this interesting. I was visiting my dad this weekend and we talked about his old motorcycles. Here they are in order owned:
Zundapp DB205 or DB255 (1955 - he was 14):

Triumph Trident 1969 T150:

Moto Guzzi Touring (unsure of model#): I think this was the model that the motorcycle cops in that old 70's "CHiPs" show rode at some point - except it had a large full front fairing, harley straight pipes and harley hard saddlebags - all custom painted pearl white.
It got wadded up into a ball, he rebuilt it and painted it metallic blue - then sold it a year later. That was the end of motorcycling for my dad. I remember being 7 and whining to go with him on a trip, then I whined on the trip when I got scourged by the New Mexico sun and sand (full-face helmets and proper clothing were unknown).
