Motorcycles

Lots of folks don't like the thought of riding a motorcycle...They think about the danger and remember E.R. stories they've heard.

Well that's OK cause that's a whole lot less bikes on the road and that makes it safer for those of us who can't quit.

I started my bike life in the early 60's on a rented Honda 90... About killed myself in one day....Couldn't control all that velocity. A larger Honda was next, You all remember the 160 Scrambler? What a hot rod that was...Lots of fun. But then a friend let me ride his BSA 650....All I could think was..."This thing is HUGE." Well I played the man and rode it. Can't say I enjoyed that first ride much (I was a little busy trying to keep it on the road) but it sure delivered me from the Honda spirit that was trying to attach itself to me. I then set out and bought a used 1963 Triumph 650 Bonneville, which I later traded for a new 1967 Triumph 650 TR-6. All was well for me with the British bikes until one day an old red neck offered to buy my 65 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and throw in his 1964 Harley Davidson Duo Glide as part of the deal. He got the Cad and I got the HD. (they call that hog trading) Well there's been a slew of Hogs since that fateful day and now it would be pretty hard for me to ride anything else than a beloved Harley Davidson.
