Christmas 1978, 8 years old. Opened up all the gifts Seemed like Santa had kind of screwed me a little compared to my sisters. My dad asked me to go up stairs and get him something. Came back down and there was a Yamaha 80 sitting next to the Christmas tree. Probably to this day the best Christmas I ever had as a kid for sure.
Had a Honda CT 70 I had been riding, but this was my first bike. Never been off a bike since or without bikes. And my dad has always had bikes his whole life.
Mom has photos of that Christmas some where need to dig them out.
