My
first street bike was a 1978 Yamaha XS750D. It had a vetter
fairing complete with lowers. This was a great bike which
gave me trouble free transportation for a couple of years
before I sold it to move up to a bigger bike. Unfortunately
I dont have an actual picture of my bike. This is one just
like it except that mine had the lowers for the fairing.

After
the Yamaha I got a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000. I purchased this bike
in the spring of 1986 and rode it religiously for 4 years. Unfortunatly
financial difficulties demanded that I sell the bike. It was
a great ride. Emerald green and later added a Vetter fairing
complete with stereo and matching trunk (no pic though).

After
the Kawasaki I got a 1982 Suzuki GS1100GL. I purchased it in
September 1999. It had 42k miles on it. This is the first bike
I have ever taken a trip longer than 400 miles on. In March
2000 we took a 1000 mile plus trip through the Texas hill country.
It was fabulous.You can find a few pics of that trip in the
other pics section. I have added a luggage rack, sissy bar with
pad and Willie & Max saddlebags and fork bag. This baby
is still very fast.

After the
Suzuki I got a 1997 Honda Valkyrie.
I purchased it in December 2000. It had 10,000 miles on it.
I rode this bike for the next five years and thouroughly loved
every minute of it. I ended up selling it with 77,000 miles
on it in 2005 due to the purchase of a 2005 Gold Wing.

After
the Valkyrie I got a 2005 Goldwing. I purchased it in April
2005 new. I rode for 5 months and put over 15,000 miles on it,
only to decide that it just was not the bike for me. I traded
it in on a 2006 Harley Davidson Electraglide in October of 2005.

After
the Goldwing I got a 2006 Harley Davidson Electraglide. I purchased
it in October 2005 new. I made some extensive engine upgrades
to bring the performance to where I could enjoy it. I rode it
for 2 years and 5 months and put over 50,000 miles on it, only
to finally come to the realization that it was also not the bike
for me. I sold it at the begining of April 2008. |

My current
bike is a Honda Valkyrie Interstate. I could not fake it anymore,
I just had to get back to what I truly liked in a motorcycle.
