Since I was a little boy, the only thing I ever wanted was a XT 500 with a camel tank.

Come first paycheck and I bought one.  (exact same model year as my birth date, late 70's)

Then reality kicked in: kickstart,drum brakes,aircooling and an unsteady weave at 110km/h are overrated.

Similar story with a Ducati 916 (farking expensive to maintain, wants to kill you)

Any similar stories out there?
