re: What was that one thing that if you had it, you were the coolest kid in the neighborhood?

The day they delivered mine and told me "it will go anywhere" was awesome. I drove it straight to the deepest irrigation ditch on the farm. Somehow it didn't flip end over end on the way down. However, it flipped 3 times when I tried to come out of that damned ditch. Finally had to get the tractor.

CR 80 was a hell of a motorcycle . Good thing I switched to 3 wheelers not too long after having that . Think my dad knew I would end up dead if I stayed with two wheels
