My first real bike was a Harley Davidson 90 cc Enduro, rode that until the motor blew on a 13 acre lot behing my fathers business. Next bike was a used 1971 Norton Commando in college - that was around 1976. I then had a 750 Suzuki something or other in 1979 - that finally died after a year or two. I moved to San Diego in 1982 and bought a brand new 1982 Honda Nighthawk CB450 - rode that for 4 years and sold it. Stopped riding for a while, then bought a new Sportster 8 years ago - bought a new DRZ 400s shortly after the HD - the HD didn't last long - Dumped it for a Buell 9S, then got a Kawi 600, got rid of the Buell for a 2004 Tuono. Trade the Kawi 600 for a 636... The 636 was eventually traded for a new 750 GSXR. The list goes.
Today I have 5 bikes: 04 YZ450, 04 Tuono, 06 DRZ 400SM, 07 FJR and a 09 R1.
