A 1948 panhead 3 wheeler. Was setting in a guys garage for a long time. I towed it home, changed points and plugs and oil and road it over a year before tearing it down to paint it

My Dad bought a Honda 90 steet bike in the mid 60's with all the cool stuff like duck tail fenders ... he got a new bigger bike about 60 months later and gave the Honda to me. I wasn't old enough to ride the street so I stripped it for the dirt. That was where I contracterd the uncurable bike disease. Thank's Dad !!

First bike I rode was a Honda 350 that I rented while stationed in Thailand in 1969. A buddy and I used to rent them all the time. Then rode a 650 Triumph Bonnie with that same buddy in Michigan and Texas. First owned bike was a Honda 450 Scrambler. That one taught me the most. Wanted a Sportster then, couldn't afford one. Next was a 650 Kawi, then didn't ride for years. Kids and stuff. Now, back to it. Rode my BILs Yami 500 CR, his BMW 1200 Dual Sport, then last year bought my first Harley, a '98 883 Hugger, then in March of this year got a '05 Sportster 1200 Roadster.
