Before I had a four wheeler, I had a motorcycle. Several actually.
I always wanted to put these up, and I am final starting.
My last 3 bikes were BMW's, and if things go well, I will have another one
again soon.
I got back into riding on a Suzuki RF 900. I bought it from a friend of mine. He had crashed both sides of it and finally stopped riding it. I bought it from him and fixed the plastic. Now I wish I had taken some before picture because I think the repairs look good.
2008 update, I am again on a BMW. I am on my second one this year as a matter of fact. Just continue to scroll down the page to see them
2010 update, I now have a Ducati. I have always wanted one, but stayed away to the high maintenance on them. I guess this is now my chance to see if the horror stories are all true. Again keep scrolling down to see the newest addition.

This is how I got back into BMW's. I called up a local shop to ask what I should worry about on an older R 1100 RS I was looking at on Craigslist. They asked me what I was looking for, and replied "We have a nice one we just took in on trade." I went down and looked at it, and bought it.
I had some issues with the transmission on the R RS. While it was in being repaired, I spotted this little thing.
It had been neglected by it's previous owner, only 8500 miles on it in four years.
So I decided to give it a good home.
This is the only shot I have of it not in front of my house so far.
I decided on the way home from Laguna Seca in 2010 I wanted a different Bike. When I got home 4 were on my short list. And what do you know, a local shop had a 2002 Ducati ST4s. So far I am loving the bike.
