In April of 1990 (just turned 21)I bought my first motorcycle. It was an 1986 FXST. I had just totaled my Ford Bronco in a drunkin stuper and decided I needed something different. I loved my Softail and had it for 12 years. The last few year of owning it, it didn't get too much use as I got married and starting having kids. Four years later I bought my second bike. I never thought I would ever own a bagger, but just one evening of riding my buddies Street Glide (he has 4 H-D's) and I was hooked. I am now the proud owner of a 06 FLHXI.

1975 Got a brand new Yamaha GT 80 (80cc, hehe) scared me to death! I was expecting a mini bike with a lawn mower engine. Fear did not last long, VERY glad I got the motorcycle. I was 10 years old.

2003 March, bought a 1996 Yamaha Virago 535 cc. ROFL, what was I thinking, This is one small bike and I am 6' 1", I looked a little large for it, hehe.
2004 March Got a 1998 FLHPI Road King, Put about 14000 mi on it in about 2 1/2 years.
2006 August 18th, Got my brand new 2007 Street Glide, I LOVE IT!
Here is a Pic of the Virago and Road King. I have one of the GT 80, but will have to dig it up and scan it.
