What did you used to ride? What are you riding now? Which one did you love the most? What’s laying in a torn apart pile in your garage? Any stories behind them?
My first squidbike. Rode this thing EVERYWHERE, but then I busted the 2nd/6th gear dogs. Successfully replaced them, but it leaked oil from then on from splitting the cases.
My second less squiddy bike; I really loved the SV. Great handler after the RT prog springs and Penske rear shock were put on.
Number 3. I could never get the hang of riding this correctly. It wanted to go very fast and I didn’t.
Number 3.5 (basketcase). Rode it, like, twice. Intended to restore it, but ended up giving it away for free. It was super dangerous to ride (i.e. brakes? what are brakes?).
Current (old man bike):
1998 Sportster 1200
This was the first bike I Owned. I took this thing on a ride from Central Iowa up to Superior, Wisconsin and around Lake Superior. That was a great trip.
2009 Buell XB12XT Ulysses (current ride)
I have put over 10,000 miles on this bike. It is just about the perfect bike for me
1978 CB400A
Bought it because my wife wanted to learn how to ride, had it for about a year, then she had a low speed fall over and also found out she was pregnant with our first kid, so we sold it. Fun little thing in town.
I had all three in my garage at one time. But Only the Buell remains.
