Over the last couple of weeks, I've taken a renewed interest in the idea of motorcycling again. I have pretty much decided that I'll get a new Kawasaki Vulcan S after we get back to British Columbia for the summer. Getting a motorcycle doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'm determined to not let that dissuade me. I have not ridden a motorbike in many decades. During one change in driver's licence jurisdiction, I somehow lost my motorcycle endorsement too. I'll be taking a BC motorcycle operator's test as a 61-year-old dude.
I couldn't remember much about my small, high-school era bike. In the 1970s, my dad provided me with some motorized wheels to get around. I knew that the machine was a 100cc Kawasaki and I remembered it as being yellow.
Thank you, Internet! These pictures came up when I did a little search. Yellow must have been a popular-selling colour. The images brought my memories of it into a much clearer focus. Yikes, and wiping-out on a sharp corner on Lake Avenue now comes to mind as well!
