My first was a Harley Hummer 165cc 2 stroke. It would do 50 on a good day. I was 16 (1963). My second was a Honda 150 Mini Dream (looked just like the 305 Dream but smaller). It would do about 60 or so, so it was a step up. It even had 2 mirrors and electric start. The chain was totally enclosed, so required minimal care. I rode it from East Aurora, NY (near Buffalo) to Far Hills, NJ and back when I was in college. Thought nothing of it. It wasn't till '66 that I got a 250 Ducati. I rode that all over NY State and southern Ontario.

Our sense of scale in this country is now definitely out of whack, and not just about motorcycles.
