And broken kick starter. Had to bump start. Got away from me one bump start in front of the house. In front of MOM. Not the best thing to do. I stepped off and let the bike crash without me. I still have the California motorcycle DL endorsement. But at 75 years old today, I think is not a good thing to ride. |

Current rides are a 2000 Moto Guzzi Jackal and a 1983 Honda Gold Wing. Off to the side to reestore are my 1974 Triumph Daytona 500 and my 1947 Indian Chief. My dad had a 1930’s Indian. Mom told the story of him selling it before they left Nebraska and the guy skipped without paying all the money owed before they moved to California in 1940. Dad is standing on the street corner in El Cerrito where we lived and guy came riding by on the bike. I remember riding on the back of Indians and Harley’s before I was 10. |

Yes, with your history of throwing yourself off roofs etc, I'd say you should stay away from anything that requires balance and coordination. |

I had a Honda 125 for about a year, and then have had only two Moto Guzzis, not counting a few I bought to resell or as parts bikes. I have to admit some of those I had were just ridden around long enough to find someone to make an offer. After making money on the Yamaha and Honda the profit motive was always in my head. I also wanted the chance to try different bikes. Those Sportsters are fun to ride but I still like the FLs I have never had a desire for another or different bike. If I were, for some reason, to buy a different bike now, it would be a used Honda ST1300. I don't like the styles of the new Guzzis, too 'cruiserish' for me. |

Donnee, you'd think that after a while you'd learn just to keep your immature, f'ing mouth shut. You delight in throwing a bunch of rancor into any decent thread you come across. Do you feel you're really impressing the fat guy? |
