This is how this 84 Ironhead looked when I bought it, through several transitions (chronological order)while in my hands. This is the one bike I wish I still had today:

 

I wish I still had my 2000 Honda XR650R. That beast would now be a supermotard full of all kinds of hooliganism! Unfortunately, I sold it shortly after I returned from Korea in 2005. I didn't think I wanted to invest the time or money to get it street legal. Hindsight is 20/20!

m.a.c.

 

Jake .. I guess my Street Bob ... It's the only bike I've ever sold since 1968 still have all the rest..

And how many bikes does that make if I might ask you lucky SOB? And that Street Bob was one sweet ride!

 

A little more than 1 for every two years... My wife also has thesame Passion so I never had to explainthe reason for keeping them.. Just make sure her was kept the way she wanted for the last 30 years...

 

Back in the late 80's while I was in college I was throwing bales for a local farmer and he showed me a 1966 Ducati 250 monza he had in a shed. He sold it to me for $25. I got it running and rode it to his farm to show him. It didn't stay running long (ignition issues). It required special tools that I was unable to locate and I ended up giving up on the project. My father didn't want it sitting around so I ended up scrapping it. What an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Gee Jake thanks for reminding me of that I thought I had repressed that bad memory. J/K LOL

 

Man the memories this post brings back. In the early 60s, I had a Cushman Eagle (a lot of you probably will not remember these), then I bought a 250 Triump Tiger Cub. Wish I still had both of those. The Cushman Eagles are now going for 3-5k and don't know what the Cubs are selling for. But the bike I really wanted back then and was never able to get, was a Mustang (again a lot of you will not remember these either). I still have my ironhead Sportster(70 XLCH)in the family (gave it to my oldest son). Thanks for posting that question, brought back some wonderful memories.

It turned out pretty nice. I have bought and sold so many bikes that I don't really have one that sticks out above the rest. I never really had a bond with any of my bikes until I got my Dyna. I plan on buying a bagger in the next couple of years, but I think I will always have my Dyna. Too many memories...

 

Back in the 70's I rode a 64 Panhead. Rigid, mousetrap, mechanical brakes. I wish I would have never sold it.

 

Bikes I wish I still had?.....Topping that list is the one that I still have. A 1971 XLCH that I bought in 1973. I guess It would be nice to have the new Cushman Eagle I bought with my paper route in early 1957.
Others that I do not have include the
1949 500cc BSA Shooting Star Twin (Bought used in late 1957)
!954 650cc BSA Road Rocket (Bought used in 1958)
1957 500cc BSA Clubman Gold Star Single (bought used)
1960 650cc BSA Spitfire Scrambler (Bought new in 1960)
1962 500cc BSA Clubman Gold Star (Inherited in 1975)
Harleys I do not sell.......ever.
