My first bike was a 1974 Honda MR50 Elsinore. What a bike. My parents bought it from the neighbor for $200. I remember staring into their garage for hours just looking at it until it was mine. Man I loved that little bike. I wish I still had it. My son's little XR50 Clone just isn't the same (although it does run better than the old MR!).

I ended up with a KX80 after that (1984 version), then a Suzuki GS500, then a Suzuki GSXR750, and then a CBR1000.

After that I got out of street bikes altogether and bought the love of my life... My KLX250S. I have more fun on that bike than I ever did on my street bikes. I feel like a kid again (just turned 40).

Who knows what's next... I do like orange...

Got my first powered two wheeler in1954. It was a Mustang scooter of unknown year. Bought it in a box and rebuilt it.

Next was one year latter, 1954 NSU Fox 125.

1957, new '58 Triumph Tiger Cub

Then my father bought the Triumph shop, I have owned 124 motorcycles to date, including the Mustang. I wish I still had them all today.

I have been called a motorcycle junkie for good reason.
