Three previous bikes. Actually two, the GS425 I bought at sixteen never ran. Dad was not fond of yard art so it went away.
In 1995 bought a '73 CB 750. Still have it, loved that thing. Taught myself how to ride and how to work on a bike. Too much of the later (22 year old electrics are a bad thing).
When I finally got tired of working on the 750 bought a V30 Magna. Nice little scoot, but too small for my big butt. Sold it in 2009 when the housing market here crashed.
Finally the stars lined up and I am making a little money and someone is finally build a bike I like. No Tupperware bike or Cruiser for me. Ok for others, but that classic UJM is the look for me. They say our tastes are set when we are young. In my case definitely true, Loud Rock and Roll and Classic Honda good looks for me (Beer and Boobs are good too).
