Sometimes things don't work out how you plan... and turns are sharper than you
think...
and you are not as alert as you should be to travel at high speed...

Tony's GSXR... a hint of things to come...
Bike # 3 : Here's a look at the earlier owned and cherished 1986 Honda VFR700
Very sweet bike... very sweet... I can still picture every
little detail of the body work, framework and internals as I spent many hours
cleaning, upgrading, repairing and riding this baby! I should have kept it,
but a moment of weakness and a need for cash forced my hand...
My only consolation was that Tony had recently sold me his ZX750 (aah, there
it is up above)
Biker buds from that era
Bike # 2 Honda CX500C : This bright red beauty gleamed of
crome and responded quickly via the "shorty" handle bars I added.
Took a trip to Austin on it once, traveled some 200 miles, pulled up to a lake
park and promptly set it down on it's side...
My buddy Tony made me strain to keep up with his 600 Ninja though, so another
trade-up was in order.
Bike # 1 - Burgandy Honda CM400T : The first bike I owned,
I bought used from a fella I worked with named Russell.
After a few beers at a poker night, he mentioned he was gonna sell it, I offered
him $400 and he said sure.
He didn't really think I had the money but when we sobered up and I showed him
my tax refund check he kept the deal. Tony was a witness.
Test rode it to one end of his parking lot, dropped it when I couldn't figure
out how to stop and said, "I'll take it"
Adequate first bike, but it only took one girl in a VW Bug woopin me at a traffic-light-drag-race
to realize a trade-up was in order...
