I started on a Yamaha DT250 in 1974. Bought a Suzuki GS-400 in '80 for my fiance. We soon sold the Suzi and bought a '76 KZ-900, which I rode until going overseas in '87. Didn't get another bike until '96 when the wife and I bought a pair of NOS '92 CB750 Nighthawks. I traded my tired Nighthawk for my current ride, a new '2000 CBR-600F4, in Mar 2000, and had a lot of fun racing (errr, riding) with the litre bikes up in the mountains west of here. Late last year I toyed with the idea of upgrading to an '05 Goldwing. But my commute is now 90 miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic and I have little time to ride any more.
