My 10th birthday present was:



KD80! The memories just came flooding back. Thanks  Thumbsup
I also was around ten when my pops bought me one of those. After two CT70s it was my first real dirtbike. I rode the feck outa the thing. I remember one side of the motor stuck out further than the other and the choke knob was in a weird spot.

Age 31. Bought a Kawasaki KZ400 in 1978 and had to have a friend ride it home for me because I did not even have learners permit. Been hooked ever since.

Got a moped when I was 9.  Next bike was a Honda 200X when I was 11.
