I've been a motorcyclist since 1987. My first bike was an '86 Yamaha FZ600, then an '89 FZR600. I switched gears for a bit in '93 & got a sweet H-D Softail Custom. Rode that a few years but found out I still had unresolved thrill issues, so I ended up getting rid of it and have since been enjoying my "hooligan" bike a 1995 Ducati Monster 900. It is by far the best bike I've ever ridden. It's got lots of carbon fiber bits (including a Fast by Ferracci exhaust), a ventilated clutch cover, bar-end mirrors, an LED tachometer, and a steering damper (used to get twitchy through corners at :::cough::: certain speeds ) . I will post pics when the weather warms up & I get it out for the season.

Presently have a Honda XL1000 V2 which is in the garage due to me being a cold weather wimp. Previous bikes, BMW 1200C, BMW 1100GS and a Yamaha 850 TDM. The Honda handles the best but the 1200C was the most fun offering outraguos looks and superb handling for a lowrider.

I had a Suzuki RM125 dirt bike when I was younger, I beat the h3ll out of it and was chased by cops several times. I lost interest in that once I got a drivers license and a car.

Then about five years ago I bought a H-D Sportster 1200. Nice ride but decided to sell it and put the $$ towards the VX. Much happier with that!

I'm sure I'll get another bike again someday, just not sure what it would be. I like the looks of that Guzzi...

Started riding with a 55cc Suzuki in 1964. Then on to a 90cc Honda / 160cc Honda / 305cc Honda Superhawk / 750cc Norton Commando / 1969 CB750 Honda, Bored and Stroked to 850cc, Paul Dunstall fiberglass tank, fender, fairing, custom headers & exaust.(VERY FAST). My current ride is a 1982 Suzuki GS1100EZ, purchased new, fast & confortable. Nothing like riding with the wind in your face.

I used to road-race for Kawasaki during the late 80's. Didn't quite finish two seasons due to a bad street accident that sent both my GPz and the Fiero it t-boned out on a wrecker. Got back on the horse a little over 10 years ago with a '78 KZ-1000 and have been collecting vintage Kawasaki ever since. After a recent stable cleaning I just have a '73 Z1 and a '78 Yamaha DT400 for playing a little off road. Also got my fiancee into riding and we picked her up an '86 454 LTD a while back. Considered the first Vulcan it's a quick and versatile ride with it's halved Ninja 900 engine and belt-drive.

Even though Team Green is my favorite, I love all kinds of bikes. Hope to pick up a BMW GS-1150 eventually. It's sinfully ugly bike but an absolute joy to ride.
