HOME ROCKIES KEY WEST         I had a lot of fun on this old CB. We went everywhere together.     This is me with my 1980 Honda CB 750 F. It was my second big street bike. I got this bike in the spring of my junior year in high school. During that summer my father and I took our first long tour together. It was kind of a test to see if we would want to do any bigger ones together in the future. In the summer of '83 my dad and I, along with another man from the motorcycle club named Herb Reiss, headed south to South Carolina. I was in love with the South and had a crush on a girl I met from there. You know it was serious because I had named this motorcycle after her, "Sabra." We went to Lake Murray, South Carolina so I could visit Sabra. I had always been a rebel at heart and this trip helped solidify that. After we found our campsite on an island in the lake, I left Dad and Herb to set up camp while I went off with Sabra and her friends. I wish I had paid more attention to a few things first though; like where the campsite was and that the park closed after 10:00 PM. I got back much later than that and found the gate to the park closed. I parked the bike and started walking. It was amazing how dark the night is that far out in the country. There wasn't a photon to be found. I could scarcely see the white line of the road right at my feet. After an hour and a lot of guessing and stumbling, I recognized the sound of my Dad and Herb snoring. I was able to hone in on it and get to the tent. I'm glad that Dad was obviously not worried.
