Norton 850 Commando

- my High School/College buddy
Rob Wilroy had one.
I used to start my open-class motocross bikes that way. The first time
I took my brand new Honda CR-480 to the track a faster rider
took me out on an "ant hill" (pronounced aint hill

) and broke
my collar bone. My buddy Mark, who was there with me at the track,
tried to start my bike in tennis shoes and his shoe came off...
I crashed my brand new first bike (72 yamaha 100) twice before I
got a block from the house. I'm pretty sure, the second time, when
I hit Mark Petropollis' dog, I went over the handlebars...
