The Journey
I thought I would share my own personal journey through the years with motorcycles as a part of my life. It started at less than a year old with a picture of me sitting on my dads honda with my mom holding me, I guess the seeds were set early. Fast forward to around age ten and a well used 70cc Honda that my dad bought from a friend. The next couple of years saw a mix of quads and dirt bikes until age 16 when instead of a car I got to ride around on an sp250 dual sport. My dad hit a midlife crisis and bought a ninja which got some good usage when he was at work. This lasted until I came home one day and it was chained up in the garage. Fast forward a few more years and a few more quads to 2005 when I bought a new gsxr 600, that lasted a few years until a good deal on an 02 dyna came up. The dyna served me well and when I got a promotion at work I bought a new 2013 road king. That summer a good friend crashed, I had my second child and work really picked up leaving the road king in the garage more than I would like to admit. This past summer I traded in the road long to get back to a dyna. I picked up a nice 01 fxdxt that I am getting back from the shop in a few weeks. Hopefully it gets some good miles this summer. Several times I have come close to selling the bike completely, but I can't bring myself to do it, no matter how few miles I put on it, it still brings a smile to my face when I see it sitting there in the garage.

I got my first street legal bike when I was 14 in 1973 and I haven't seen very many days without a motorcycle since. I have been married to the same gal for nearly 38 years, and we have raised 3 children that are now grown and gone. For what it is worth My 07 Road King Is my 7th and last motorcycle I don't trade bikes at the drop of a hat, and when my Road King id done I am also.

I think maybe h's just sharing his experiences like we all do now and then.
I bought my first Harley in 1967 when I was 15. It was a 1951. It came in pieces and I had to put it together with the help of people who knew a lot more than I ever will and I haven't been without a motorcycle since. Have I thought about giving up riding, sure but I haven't yet.
