Good Grief! I'm older than the 'boomers' - and I should remember all the old bikes??? Yikes! 1. 1951 Vincent 'Black Shadow' - got as a gift when I was 15 - Gave it away when it broke my leg - about 1959. Start of a love affair with all bikes..... 2. Honda 90 Trail - about 1966 - first of 12 bikes - mostly Hondas, and used to race, and explore every logging road withing 100 miles of Vancouver. Super 90's, 160 Twin, Geeze...... 3. 1968 BSA Lightning (650cc) - my second 'big' bike about 1972. One Hour Riding - Two Hours Tightening every bolt on it. First time I had the wife out for a ride - she was giggling like a little girl. I leaned back and asked "What's so funny?" - she said: "The vibration is making me HORNEY!". I friggin near dumped the bike right there. 4. 1973 Suzuki Hustler - 250cc Two Cylinder Two Stroke - I used it to blow off EVERY Harley in town who dared go against me!!!! 5. 1975 Honda CB350 Twin - No more stinking oil clouds for me! 4 Stroke Forever! 6. 1979 Yamaha Virago 750 - First year for the V-Twin - and it could blow off every big American twin - easily. Made money with it on more than one occasion..... 7. 1981 Virago 750 - purchased in about 1986 due to Harley's move to outlaw Japanese bikes over 700cc. (you bike 'history buffs' should look that up, or ask me about it). So I went from 50,000 miles on my original Virago down to zero miles on the new one for $1,000. A year later - picked up a 1000cc Virago engine and swapped out the 750. Rode the thing for years and years - about 1996, when I moved from Canada to Orlando Florida with my bad heart. 8. 1977 Honda 750 Police Special - someone sold me an ex-RCMP bike for $1 - I put $1,500 into it - and had it shipped to Florida where I rode it for 4 years 97-01 - it was always a 'hit' at Daytona - a white Cop Bike. Sold it before I came back to Canada (after my 5-bypass surgery that couldn't be done in Canada). 9. 1997 Virago - Purchased for $5,000 in 2002 - it had $5,000 in extras - can be seen in my Gallery - loved Virago's - drove that one until after I bought the Vision - then sold it for $5,000 when I realized I loved the Vision more!!!! So - likely will only have 4 or 5 more in my life - All of them Visions..... |
