Honda 50
Honda Rebel
2001 Indian Chief - Beautiful (Black) 88 ci SS motor run like crazy.
2002 Honda Goldwing - Comfort King - Put your feet up and fall a sleep riding. I once rode a solid hour without touch the handle bars at 80 MPH! NO Kidding out west in Nebraska.
07 Street Glide Black Pearl. Rides like a dream. Already spent a small war pension with add on's I figured out the HD means Hundred Dollars .... Every time I spot by its HD .... LOL

76 Sportster 1000. A good old, comfortable friend. 1981-present
2006 streetglide in Jan of 06.
Dad and grandpa had electra glides, 72 and 78 respectively, so I knew what I wanted eventually.
