Been riding since 1983 and got my wings on a brand new 1982 CB-750F Super Sport Honda which I still own. By 1984 it had been slightly warmed over and was joined by a brand new 83 1100F, which I still own. Many years later i’d pick up a used 81 900F, which awaits restoration. The 1100F was pushed into touring duty in 2006 when co-works asked me to ride with them to the Smokie Mtns on what would be come the annual June Ride. In 1990 I did a resto on a 83 Harley Lowrider FXSB, which I still own. Spring of 2007 saw the purchase of a 98 CBR-1100xx Super Blackbird, my current touring mount. In 2008 during my mid life crisis I purchased a slightly used (4500kms) CBR-1000RR/R Repsol.

Guess I'm just an old guy. I can appreciate the engineering in the Ducatis, but don't usually care for the looks. On the other hand, the CB 750 and 1100 are GORGEOUS!!. I had a '75 CB550 I picked up cheap and got it running again. Rode it for several years before I got tired of the maintenance required. Had 2 of the later CB750 Nighthawks - one got taken out by a cager not paying attention (big surprise) and the other I passed to my brother.

Got the Spyder on Thursday, and managed to dodge the rain long enough on Saturday to take it for a ride. That's going to be fun when things clear up around here.

My first bike was a '99 CBR600 F4, learned to ride on that then upgraded to a new '06 CBR 1000RR, spent a bunch of money on mods then everyone I rode with either sold their bikes or moved away. No fun riding by yourself and the guys that were left to ride with rode around at 60kph which sucks on a liter bike.

So then I found a '83 V65 Magna which I tore down and restored, for the " slower rides " I then traded the CBR for a '06 750 Shadow which i ride as much as I can. Its practical. I still have the V65 as well, now have it registered as an antique.

My next bike ( once the ram payment goes away ) will likely be a Streetglide.

Here is my bike next to my Ram. I waxed both of them that day, and felt they needed some pictures.

Had to get off two wheels and move to three for the wife. She wasn't comfortable getting on/off the bike anymore.
