Have been riding since I was a kid. Go-karts, mini-bikes, dirt bikes then street bikes. This is my current 2 wheeler. '06 Honda VTX 1300. Excellent touring bike. Added some nice options and mods, got it just to my liking and THEN.... found my '63 Wagon. Made a deal with the wife to get a second car, the bike had to go. So, off she goes this Spring The Wagon is a whole buncha fun, but I will miss 2 wheelin'

And going a little further back to 1988, I traded my first big street bike, an '84 Yamaha FJ1100 for my '66 GTO, which I still own.

the Hurricane was an inline 4, vs the VFR which was a V4, right?

Speaking of inlines, a friend of mine has a '79 Honda CBX1100, inline 6 cyl. with the 6 into 6 exhaust. That motor stuck way out on both sides of the tank, kept your legs warm

Not really an antique, I put a Pontiac emblem on an '87 Kawi Ninja motorcycle I owned because I thought it looked good. I had no shortage of people asking me when Pontiac built motorcycles, to which I replied "In the 80's".






As you can tell the bike was getting rather worn so I bought a new bike in '07.

I did the same thing on the windshield of my Harley. When I took it to local POCI events they called it the "Ponti-Cycle".

I used to own the Widow Maker, Kawasaki 750 triple-two stroke. What a badass bike. I raced everything that moved and won. It was around a 100hp on a light bike in the 70's. Could be scarey at times. Wish I still had it, the wife made me sell it. Said it was dangerous.

The infamous H2. A high school friend put dirt bike foot pegs on his to "help keep things in place". Sick bike. Rumor has it that at one point the US Govt told Kawi that they couldn't bring anymore into the US

Yea they only made 4 years of them, 72-75, mine was a 73. The real reason they were stopped was because of being a two stoke on the street, emissions killed them. That bike was made to go straight. It was a five speed, straight up, neutral was at the bottom. They are worth a few bucks today ($5000), sold mine for $600. The guy that bought it, took it to Florida and still has it along with two more of them. I heard it is still the same color.
