How long have you been riding, how many bikes have you owned?
What's your current sled?

RE: Rid'n!
I have been riding for over 50 years. I started at the age of 13 on a Cushman Eagle, went to a Mustang hard-tail and then to a long series of desert race bikes. In that early years, I owned some bikes for less than a month. Later on I had a few like a Bultaco Sherpa 'T' for 15 years. The first serious street bike was a '79 Suzuki GS1100. I then went to a series of Honda XR Dual Sport bikes that I mainly rode off-road. A KTM LC4 640 was my last dual sport. I then went to a H-D XL883 C, then a H-D XL 1200 R, and last of all a H-D Road King Classic. I still own all three Harleys. I have lost track of some of the specific models of bikes that I once owned, but have kept track of the number............ 37 to date. Am I done? I don't think so. I am eyeing the new KTM 425 street legal enduro and I would buy a CVO 2008 Road Glide if H-D brings one out. ............... Like someone else said, I can't imagine being without a motorcycle. .................. BC

RE: Rid'n!
I've been riding for 45 years. My first two wheel bike was a 1962 Honda 50, that I rode 5,000 miles in six months. I bought a 1956 Harley HydraGlide used in 1962 and that began my career as a heavy motorcycle rider. I have had 15 Harleys, 1 Goldwing Aspencade, 1 BMW R-65, a 72 Honda CB350, and a Honda 90 Scrambler. I owned one Sportster, a 1965 bagger style for about six months but sold it since it wasn't up to snuff for two up. All my other Harleys have been Electra Glides. I estimate about 750,000 miles of riding motorcycles. I have slowed down the mileage since retiring 'cause I no longer commute to work. For most of my years working, I commuted 20-30 miles each way to work and then made weekend rides. My high years were over 25,000 miles average. I like to ride some.[:-]
