My first bike was a Suzuki 120, like 2LZ's except it was the dweeb normal street version, not the cool Scrambler version that Steve McQueen would have ridden.

My second bike was a '67 Honda CL77 305 Scrambler. My best friend in high school had one when I had the Suzuki, and I lusted for it so I got one myself. Looked just like this one. IMO one of the most beautiful 1960s Japanese motorcycles, along with the '69 CB750. But the coolest bikes overall back then were the Triumphs.

By modern standards the CL77 was astonishingly crude. But back then, nobody knew any better. And it was fun to ride.
