Now you got me trying to remember. Here are the motorcycles that I can
recall:

Honda 305 "Super Hawk"
Honda 350 - two .. one in Puerto Rico, one in MA.
Kawasaki 450
Harley Davidson Ultra Classic (2000 - white)
Harley Davidson Softails - two, one new in 2003, the other an older
version with the "evo" engine.
Harley Davidson Ultra Classic (2006 - maroon)

That's eight of them. Might be another ... oh, yeah there *was*.

I bought a custom built Harley that Cape Cod Harley Davidson built
especially for Sturgis but cancelled going.

Oh, ... one more ... a fully restored 1974 Norton 850 Commando.

That's 10.

So, how often do you "drive" your Ducati ?

Not as many here.
I have had a
250 Benelli dirt bike, the one that tried to kill me ;-)
350 RD Yamaha, Didn't keep it long, Maybe the most dangerous bike ever
350 Honda Sent it down the road pretty quickly too when I found the FX
72 Superglide (my favorite)
72 XLCH (fast but not as good a ride as a Superglide)
74 XLH (last Harley in Md)
71 FLH (the one I had down here)


I've had a bunch, and I still have a bunch. 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.
