I started out on my very own "doodle bug" we called it. Lawn mower motor power and all. I got my first ticket on it when I was 13 years old. For various things.
Next I moved up to a Honda S-50 I thought it was pretty cool. Then a Honda 250 Scrambler with red metal flak paint. Next was a Triumph 650 then a Kaw KZ900 then an XS11 Yamaha, to an 84 Venture Royal to the 04 Roadie.

I started with '60 BSA because dad said "you ain't getting no damn Harley." I guess at 16 I was pretty luck to get that even if I did have to buy it with my own money. Three years later I got me a Flathead Harley.

I started out on a '67 Honda 90 Dream at about 16. From there I built a '66 Honda 305 Street Hawk I bought in boxes. After that, I went through about a half a dozen Yamaha 650 vertical twins. The first was a '72, but I had a '75, '77, '78, '79 and a couple of '83s. I loved them things.
I then went to a 650 V-Star Custom, then the 1100 V-Star Custom, which I still have... and my glorious R*. I love this thing and it is my all-time favorite, head and shoulders above all the rest!

A junkyard mini bike, a Honda 90 (got my first speeding ticket on that thing), a Harley 250 Sprint (thing just wouldn't die), a Kawasaki 900 (110 on a gravel road), a Harley Sportster (good bike mechanic training), a Yamaha 650 V-Star and a 2003 R* (probably my last bike).
