First time to drive I was about ten. I scared dad to death when he let me drive the 49 International KB1 through a gateway.

Oh yeah, I took a motocycle test when it first came out. The examiner didn't know how to run the test yet so me made me drive a little Honda around some cones and passed me. Jim
