"I learned to ride on a '76 KZ650 back in 1997"

Back in '78 when i was 13 years old,my eldest brother had a '76,then'78 KZ650.
He had the typical(then) Kerker and would ask me to "juice" it up and down the street so he could hear it.I love him man,what fun for a 13yr. old but whacking a KZ650 : )

First Buell a 1999 M2, now a 2003 XB9S,
Immediately before; a 1978 Yamaha, RD400
before that a 1997 ZX-7, 1989 ZX-7, a 1990 Goldwing 1500, another RD 400, a 1984 or 82 GW 1100, RZ 350, GS1100, a RD125 a JAWA 350 and a few others I think I have forgotten about.

Cross-state and cross country trips on both ZX 7's, GW 1200, Buell M2 and XB9S and on both RD 400's and the RZ 350....

P.S. The 1978 RD 400 has just been rebuilt and
refreshed all thru it and I hope to pick it up in the next weeks.

In order of year made, not necessarily in order of ownership:

1967 Suzuki B100
1969 Suzuki T500
1971 Honda 450
1972 XL 250
1972 Suzuki GT750
1973 Yamaha 750
1973 R75/5 BMW
1974 Honda 350
1974 Kawasaki 400 Triple
1974 Suzuki GT750
1975 Goldwing
1975 T160 Triumph Trident
1980 Suzuki GS850G
1981 Yamaha Vision
1982 Yamaha 920 Virago
1982 Suzuki GS 650 G
1990 Honda Pacific Coast
1994 Goldwing
1999 Buell S3

You may see a pattern here, in that most of my bikes were bought for their ability to ride two up. My wife doesn't ride much these days, and my Buell is the one I own now that is strictly used by me. I still have the Pacific Coast for an occasional ride with my better half. By far, the Buell is my favorite. I really enjoyed my T160 Triumph, but had to watch my rear view mirrors to check for parts that vibrated off. Still sorry I sold that bike.

First bike was a 1978 Yamaha XS400 and then:

1998 Yamaha FZR 600
2003 Buell XB9S
and now 2006 Buell XB12R

I was proud to say last week after I picked up the XB12R that I have actually owned more bikes than cars in my life. I'm sure many on this board can say that but I thought it was pretty cool.

Bought my first bike in '68... a BSA 441 Shooting Star... next was a series of bikes that included a Honda 450, Honda 305 Super Hawk, 2 Yamaha XS1 650's, Kawasaki 650 SS,BMW R75/5 (which I sold to get married... good decision on my part) and a 1977 Triumph T140V Bonneville (which is still in my garage!)
My Buell is a 98 S1W White Lightning.
I also have a '04 Road King.
I do not intend to ever sell one of my bikes, again!
