Phat Ham,

Not all of them, but right now two of them. I love motorcycles, airplanes, boats, cars, and the people who are passionate about them, work on them, build them, race them, and write about them. I was 14 years old and an avid dirt biker in the Arizona deserts when "On Any Sunday" came out. It filled me with lust for a Husqvarna like the ones Steve McQueen and Malcom Smith rode in that movie. I'm sure many of you who are close to my age had the same desire. Remember how you felt standing in the Husky dealership looking at those red and chrome Swedish bikes that were way beyond our financial reach? I saved my summer job earnings for two years and in 1973 I bought a brand new '73 Husqvarna 250WR. I rode it all through high school and it was still in perfect condition when I sold it to a friend who promptly trashed it. I always regretted selling it so I found an old '73 250WR that was beat up but complete and commissioned Husky Restorations in New York to rebuild it to brand new right down to the last locknut. It's beyond beautiful and everyday when I walk by it in my trophy room it makes me feel like that 14 year old boy again. My modern dirt bikes take me across the desert much faster, but that Husky takes me back in time. So yeah, I keep a 40 year old dirt bike in my home. This is one of the advantages of being single!! The H-D Road King is 15 years old and I brought it in after washing it so I could wax it in a nice air conditioned place instead of the 100+ degree AZ heat outside. The H-D normally resides in my garage with some other fun stablemates. I'm probably making a mistake putting up pictures of a trophy room and will get blasted by those who don't like it. I dig hunting in Africa too. Cheers bro.

Chip
