1992 BMW K100RS FL ABS
The Beloved Blue Oil Burner
This is my primary bike that I bought new in 1992 from Bob's BMW. I have ridden it across the continental United States multiple times and up North as far as Deadhorse, Alaska. As of this writing, however, I only have 116,000 miles on it.
2009 Suzuki DR650SE
The Mule
This is a bike that I bought specifically for the purpose of riding the Trans Am Trail. I did eventually, in 2016, ride it through about 2/3 of the trail.
1999 BMW R1100S
The Guest Bike
Many years ago, friend heinously moved away. "Of course, Yermo. I'll ship my bike out and ride with you to Deal's Gap like we always have." For years ... crickets. So then, in 2005, I procured "The Guest Bike" in an attempt to guilt them into joining me on my Deal's Gap rides. It has worked like a champ.
2017 BMW S1000RR
Rented California Superbike School Bike
I need to add a rented/borrowed bike feature. We re going to be riding 2018 S1000RR s on track at the Superbike school.
1985 Honda V65 Sabre VF1100S
The Beast
I was given this bike after my old man declared that my beloved Honda 450 Nighthawk was "too small". The V65 Sabre was, for the era, ridiculously powerful. Fortunately, I was moderately responsible. It really was crazy fast.
1985 Honda XL350R
This bike had a supertrapp exhaust which I never could get accustomed to. It was a great bike which I should probably have kept.
1980 Kawasaki KE125
The First Bike I Chose Myself
With the help of my mother, I bought this motorcycle new at the ripe old age of 12. I decided on a dual sport because I reasoned I'd still have it by the time I was 16 and would then be able to ride it legally on pavement. As things would turn out, after I got my license this bike was my only transportation for some months.
1975 Harley-Davidson X90 2 Stroke 90cc
My First Bike
When I was about 7 years old I had wanted a mini-bike. I imagined a lawn mower engine powered little timid bike. This is the bike I got. It could do over 65mph. My mom was none too happy.
