    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    The 2005 GSX-R 750 race bike



    And the workhorse, 2007 VFR 800:

The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.

    1st bike, unknown chopper from 1968. I was five when we got it. This is from '72.
    2nd bike, 1972 Honda SL70. This is spring of '73 w/my dog Tuffy.
    3rd bike, 1975 Honda SL100. No picture. My brother t-boned a Gran Torino with it.
    4th bike, 1980 Honda XL125S. No picture. I totaled it jumping a flat bed trailer in a hay field.
    5th bike, my cousins CB350 twin. It's cheating I know, but he stored it in our machine shed and I was told I could ride it when ever I wanted too. My first real street bike! Awesome!
    6th bike, 1978 650z. No Picture. Blue. Round tank. Traded my car for it. Title for Title while on the road in Jaw Jaw back in 1984.
    7th bike, 2003 Yamaha FZ1. Bought myself a xmas present for '02. This picture is from August of '04 at the Boulder Shell station across from Denny's.
