A convertible Vette.

'Fi couldn't ride a Harley, I wouldn't ride. Period. Well...maybe a Boss Hoss.

My Honda Helix, if I can't have Harley, might as well have 60+ mpg. Wait, that ain't fast enough, maybe an Indian. Wouldn't be so much ugly to take off one of those as a Victory...

I'd probably ride a Gold Wing or some other jap bike...If there were no Harley's, I'd still be a biker.

How many you wanna see?

Got this late last summer. Don't think I'll ever be tempted to use it for much more than local short rides, not what I'd call comfortable. And now that I'm getting to experience it for the first time, I don't have a lot of confidence in Russian engineering...


This is why I got it, grandson can't reach the pedals on a Harley yet. He loves this thing.


Hard to believe how comfortable this thing rides; long as I avoid the bigger pot holes, rides smoother than the Glide.


Big bikes are really fast these days, but the smaller ones I've ridden are gutless compared to the early Japanese bikes in the 60's. This 225cc trail bike is nowhere near as fast as a 175 I had in the 70's. Maybe 'cause it's a worn out piece of crap... I'd never paint a bike that color, but hey, I got it cheap. Grandkid's gotten some experience on something other than Harleys with it, too. Bunch of pics of him "working" on bikes in my album.


I gotta sell a few of these, or get a bigger garage. Last winter, before the sidecar rig. Yeah, it's in the garage this winter! But now there's a bunch of stuff hanging from the rafters...


Ok, guess I should leave some room for someone else. Oh, I forgot, there's a couple out in the shed...
