Hello all!
A bit about myself.
I've been riding something with two wheels and an engine since way back in the dark ages when gas was .25 cents a gallon. About '68 or '69. Some sort of minibike with a 5 (or was it 3?) HP Briggs&Stratton engine. Then I bought a used Honda SL70. It had been stripped down for racing although I never did. During most of my teens I didn't ride. The 'fumes got to me. You know, gas fumes (cars) and perfumes.

Did pick up a used '76 Honda XT350 after high school and road that thing into the dirt. Then bought a used '76 Yamaha DT something (Enduro 250) and road that until 1986.
In Feb. '86 I bought my first street bike. I went to the Yamaha shop and ordered an '85 RZ350. Still have the bike although it's showing it's age now.
May 30th this year I went with a buddy who was bike shopping. Heck, I wasn't even planning on buying a bike, let alone really looking for one and walked out of the shop with a brand new (one mile on the odometer

) Star Raider!
I've put just over 5300 miles on it this summer!
BTW, my buddy walked out with a V-Star 1100 in BlackCherry red with the silver ghost flames that day. That cute little sales gal had a really good day that day.
