At 14 I was always working on my motorcycles, and yes the police escorted me home several times. Never got a ticket though. Do all gearheads start off as delinquents on Motorcycles? The Kawasaki was used for road trips because it had lights. My cousin and I on a 40 mile back Road trip to grandparents house. We did wear helmets though. Never got caught was a hoot of a day for 14-year-olds. What a lucky kid with three motorcycles. Bucking hay and mowing yards! Good money for a kid.

Is that an old Bell full face helmet hanging on the green Kawasaki?

Yes, it is. At that time was the most expensive helmet I’ve ever owned. Snell 75... it helped to convince my parents I was safe LOL.

Thats funny and reminds me of when I was 13 and got 2 tickets on my mini bike, 1 for no license plate and 1 for no drivers license. To say the least my dad was not to happy as he had to take me to juvenile court!!!

I got you beat, by the time I was 16 I had 9 tickets for mini bike violations. When I went to court the 3rd time the judge was going to send me off to the bad boys camp, my Mom was balling her eyes out. I told the judge "so when I get back in 30 days I can get my license?" the judge replied "better yet no license until age 18 get out of here". My Mom was stunned by me getting out of that, I just told her "you have to know how to BS them old people".

I might have you beat. Not quite 9, probably only 4 or 5 for driving without a license starting at 15. I think I was just turning 16 when the judge sent me to juvenile hall for driving without a license. Still got my license as soon as I turned 16 though.
