Other Information:
I am a unrepentant gearhead and student of motorcycle dynamics and technology. I read and have read all the major motorcycle mags since I got seriously into bikes in the early 1970s, Cycle World, Motorcyclist, and the long out of print Cycle and Cycle guide. I have an extensive motrocycle magazine back-issue archive that goes back to the mid 1980s, with a few saved from the 1970s as well.
I have toured around the northeastern united states out to michigan, but 95% of my riding is comuting and errand running, my bike is my daily wheels.
I prefer Rat bikes over shiny glittery customs, and lately am highly enamored of scooters. |

The oldest bike I own...
I can't ride it, but then again, even when it was new I couldn't ride it. But it was a favorite then and remains so today, holding a special place of honor atop my PC, leaning against a bent XS850 exhaust valve, so that it can stand on it's wheels, as all proper motorcycles should.

Pickin' up a six.
I suppose we can file this under, "everything old is new again...", but day-yum, that's a fine waterfall of header pipes, ain't it?
