The oldest shot I have of myself (can’t find the one when I was on the tank of my Dads Suzuki 380...was 6 weeks old at the time) is my sister and I in the sidecar I grew up in. Still have the car, although it is now on a Wing...

yes, mine had the convertible top. We must have bought it in about 1983. We were living in Culver City at the time. Put a lot of miles on it, but sold it in '88 when we put an EML kit on the 1200. It was VERY heavy for a 78 wing

Only one I have is me sat on my Triumph 3TA but it’s on a slide so can’t show it! Here’s a shot of some of my current stable.
