(Somebody needs to expand that thread...doesn't seem like it only applies to "newbies"!)
I rode thru Utah in March ‘63 on a 50cc Honda.
I was DEFINITLY a newbie!
Never had ridden before; learned in the dealer’s parking lot in Sacramento.
Came up from Vegas (Before interstates were finished) and out the top at Yellowstone; into Montana.
(What the &#%^%#*&&% is a flatland Indiana boy doing in the mountains at this time of year?)
