Been riding since 1977...so about 23 years of riding...
1977 YZ 250
Took a 17 yr break for college, new wife, career, birth of daughter etc.
Then...
(in order of acquisition)
1992 Honda Nighthawk 750 (bought used)
2001 Harley FXDWG - aka Wide Glide (bought new)
1994 Kawasaki ZX-9 (used)
1995 Harley Sporty 1200C (used garage find rescue)
2007 Suzuki "Bandit" GSF 1250 non-ABS (new) Still in the garage
2014 MG California 1400 Touring (new) Still in the garage
I thought my wife was going to take our daughter and leave when the Nighthawk first came home...She warmed up quickly and has ridden as pillion on the FXDWG, and the Bandit for 13 years. The Cali1400 is really for her...
Currently looking around for a 2010 Aprilia RSV4....
