After about 13 years, I've had an '86 Shadow, three Ninjas (two 600s and on 900), a dirtbike, and my harley. Having totaled a couple of those, I was prompted to slow down a bit. ;-)

I'v been riding about 5 years and used to own a Honda until buying my
RK Classic in April. Love my Harley and ride it all the time. For whatever
reason, when I had my Honda I never really looked forward to riding as
much as I do now. I really enjoy tinkering with the bike and adding things
to it.

Started riding at 22...a Honda CB350...few years later bought a brand new 79 Sporty. After getting hit on that i took a 21 year hiatus from bikes to let my family grow up and my wife get used to the idea of another bike. Proud owner of an 06 Bob...seems things haven't changed much, these things still suck the $ right outta yer wallet!
