Hey Spatten1 that LTD wasn't a bad bike

I love the way you could pump the front shocks up with air. LOL!
It served me well. I couldn't afford the HD at the time either.

I have owned and ridden a long list of bikes.

The mighty Buell came to me summer of '08.
I bought an '84 BMW R100RS the weekend after 09/11/01.
The comfy RS promptly displaced my 'main ride' for the seventeen years before it arrived, an '84 KZ GPz750.
Battery's dead on the RS...

First bike was a '76 "Water Buffalo". See Old_man's picture a few posts up.
Took some years off, but have now owned a '98 Sporty, '03 Wide Glide, and now the '06 XB12Ss.

The wife has an '07 Sporty!

Brings back memories Old_man! Nobody ever wanted to follow me on the Buffalo because of the oil residue in the air when it was being pushed hard.

3 bikes in 30+ years of riding:

74 Yamaha RD-350
86 Yamaha FZ-750
04 Buell XB12S

Isn't it a little surprising how few Harleys and how many two-strokes appear in this thread?

I'm seeing a pattern here. As we get older, many of us keep the same bike longer.....
