1st memories of motorcycles as a kid?

[dantama]

OK, I'm bored waiting for the bad dinner to come, or my wife to come by the hospital, so I'm thinking up conversations topics. :)

My first memories of bikes were at about 3 years old and some cousins that were probably about 20 had motorcycles. Even at 3, I knew that I was looking at something very cool compared to cars. Only saw them that one time, they lived out of state and we were visiting.

At 4-5 years old I saw a funeral procession on TV and there were police bikes leading the procession. I thought they were the coolest thing ever.

That was my introduction to motorcycles. How did you first become aware of motorcycles.
