very first bike, over parents' objections
1958 Clua single 2smoke
My dad was stationed in Spain, with radar operations in Zaragoza, in
1958-59. The whole family followed, and I was dying for a motorcycle -
which (pleasing to parents) was strictly forbidden by Air Force regulations
for dependants.
I skirted the law by getting a Clua, so weak that, as they say at MIT,
it wouldn't pull a sick whore off a pisspot on a cold morning. I tried
to ride it to Madrid but at the first steep grade it gave up the ghost.
Sad story. Had pedals. Anyhow that was the time that I saw Carlo Bandirola
ride the MV Agusta 500cc. Four in a demo race through the city park, and
that got my blood boiling. Fifty plus years later, blood still boils: TZR-250
(4), TZ-250, ZXR-750, RG-500/500 (3).
