Yes it WAS the inspiration for the Victory Vision, and the missing lace wouldn't help much either.
Cat woman smelled like pu--y I think!

We did, however, sneak in a ride or two here and there.
I was surprised and amazed when my parents agreed to let me get my first bike in 1968. (just like the Honda 90 below) I guess they didn't want to haul me around to my many "social appointments"...

(that ugly-ass muffler had to go, though. I replaced it with one of my Mom's metal vacuum cleaner pipes!! She got mad.)

I don't remember paying much attention to the bike at the time because she wore the outfit well

Not really that surprising. Fairly certain Batman's bike was a Yamaha too.
you know the one with the sidecar that held Robin's little cycle/ go kart

Here's a representative photo:

We have a guy running around here in town on one of those except the handle bars are weird and almost make him look like he is riding a ten speed the way it looked if you were holding the bike at the curve or below. Everytime I see him, I wonder if he is embarrassed by his ride.

I thought the noise was more like bees in a beer can? LOL Dirt bikes sure are.
My first bike was a Suzuki 400, no clue what model. From those nice people who brought you Pearl Harbor.
Prince's bike in Purple rain is a Honda. I don't give a rat's butt if he wears heels, at least he picked the right kind of bike!

Why not? Yamaha makes the best cruisers....with the most choices!! First to have EFI on a 1300, Can choose between Water cooled or not..... Raiders vs Fury.....Raider wins. If you are a drummer your hardware was made in a Motorcycle factory!! LOL
