My Dad bought me my first bike, a Honda 90, in 1967 or '68 (I don't remember for sure). Been riding ever since, with a few years off due to family and finances in the late 80's.
As you can see, I like the old 'uns. My main ride is a '79 Yamaha XS650 that I rebuilt and updated a bit. It's a "replacement" for the '74 XS650 I bought new and rode for 10 years. Always regretted selling that bike.
The Project is a '74 Suzuki GT550. It's a two stroke triple. I bought it as a winter project to stave off cabin fever. About got it whipped, just need to figure out something to do about the seat, the original was trash. I'll probably keep it too, at least for a season or two.
I don't ride long distances any more, never on the Interstate and only rarely in a town big enough to have traffic lights. My youngest daughter just started riding a couple of years ago, got herself a 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250. We ride the blacktops out here in the pucker brush, just putting along and enjoying the scenery.
Ya still gotta keep yer head on a swivel and watch for inattentive drivers tho. She has pretty good instincts and we critique each ride and what we saw and what plans we made to avoid potential trouble.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
