A recent addition to the fleet. 1972, wears an antique plate. Wait, I must be antique too, <snip>

Scout,
That reminds me of my only motorcycle, a '72 350 honda in red.
Fortunately I had crash bars on the front.

I was teaching a friend how to ride, and he was tooling around in the parking lot; when he tried to come to a stop, he forgot to pull the clutch, and the bike started lurching. When he came to a stop, he had lost his balance, and the bike started to go over. You know... once they get so far, there is a point of no return, and he laid it down on its side. It was funny watching the pain in his face, worrying about what my reaction was going to be.

I only kept it for a couple of years. I had to sell it to get a better car when going to grad school. :-(

Years later I drove my friend's full dress Honda Interstate, ( about 100 cc's smaller than a Gold wing). It was beautiful, with CB, and intercom. My wife suggested that I should get one, and for a fleeting moment, in my head, I screamed... YES!!! But then, just starting a family, it didn't seem to be the sensible thing to do. Especially in my part of the world, where there is so much traffic! Not only that, I had seasonal allergies; Spring and Fall are the best times of year to ride around here, and that's when my allergies are the worst. Ram air pollen, is NOT the most fun for an allergy sufferer.

Well fast forward 30 years to just post 9/11.
My wife was getting anxious, with all the terror warnings on TV, that I needed an escape plan, to travel about 50 to 100 miles North West. I planned six of us in the van, with pre-packed gear, bicycles on the roof, for when the roads got too clogged, and a tow vehicle. Not everyone in my party would be able to pedal all that far. I even rigged up a little trailer to carry some of the gear.

I swapped out the little 3HP for a 5HP.
That baby was small enough for me to pick it up and put it in the back of the van.

No pics sorry.

Hopefully will pass my full motorbike test someday soon and move up to something like a KTM duke 390.

2009 Yamaha FZ6R that I bought off of craigslist in August with under 8k miles on it. Now I'm about to hit 12k.

Re: post ya motorcycles thread

if any of you are looking for a dependable motorcycle on a budget i adore my honda rebel 300cc it is only one cylinder so very very easy to repair id say the easiest bike to repair by far. i was worried it would not have enough power but so far i haven't needed any more throttle went up a super steep mountain today like it was a flat road. honda knows small engines
