Never took any pictures, but back in the day I had and rode:
-68 Honda CB 350 road bike
-70 Triumph Bonneville
-brand new 72 Triumph Bonneville
After an old man in a VW ran me down, and the cops said it was my fault, I lost my nerve. You have to be limber to ride and I was stiff and nervous, so I bought my 50 Commander convertible and put the top down.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

1997 Honda Valkyrie here.
I put 65,000 miles on her [Clarissa is her name] before a back operation gone bad put a stop to it.
Back in 2005 I took a month off work and rode from Arroyo Grande, Ca to Coraopolis, Pa and back.
Stayed in small towns and stayed off interstates whenever I could. What great memories of fine people I met along the way.
I camped when I found a good spot. Spent 3 days at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.
I was interviewed there by a local newspaper. That is about my only claim to fame.
I've still got the motorcycle, I really need to ride her again before I get too old [I'm only 67]South Lompoc Studebaker

My current stable consists of; 1973 H-D Sportster XLH, 1974 BMW R75/5, 1985 BMW K100RT, 1987 H-D FXRS, 1993 BMW R100GSPD, 2010 H-D RoadGlide. Over the years I have owned at least 40 other bikes, starting in 1969 with a 1966 Hodaka ACE 90 at age 11.Money may not buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
