Too many years - can't forget
So many dreams - ain't done yet

Some of the bikes I've owned over the years, with a few 4 wheelers thrown in for no good reason:

My first motorcycle -- 1970 Kawasaki F4
70f4.jpg
aka the 238 Sidewinder, I bought it when I was 17 years old. Shhh - don't tell Mom and Dad.

Bought that F4 with money made delivering pizza...

...in this '59 Morris Minor!

Eventually a '75 F9 350 Bighorn replaced the F4.

It was my first "brand new" motorcycle. Some of us never learn...

But soon came this '75 GT380 two-stroke triple

Dubbed the Sebring, it was sibling to the GT550 Indy and the GT750 LeMans.

'70 Camaro Rally Sport

My first car was a 66 Mustang. This Camaro came next and I kept it 15 years.

This 79 Suzuki GS850G was my second "new bike".

And my first long distance tourer. First trip: Daytona, of course. Great bike!

83 V45 Interceptor, or VF750F

I was in awe over this machine - couldn't wait for it to hit the showroom. This was that day!

My race bike - '86 VF500F

On the grid at Daytona!

The '72 BMW R50/5 came along before the Hondas...

The '87 BMW K75S came along after.

Teutonic pair - '87 K75S and '83 Porsche 944

These replaced the VF750F and Camaro. Kept them both much longer, too.

'80 Ducati Darmah 900 SD

Had this and the SSD at the same time. SSD's still here.

'93 Ducati 900SS

One of my favorites. Not a ton of horsepower but it's right there in the twisties.

gowenback some more!

 
What a long strange trip it's been...
