First bike was a '39 Henderson which promptly broke my leg when I failed to retard the spark enough when starting it.

Bike is now a motorcycle/lawnmower and gets lousy mileage but cuts 8 acres of grass in about 3 hours.


Wife no. 1 convinced me to sell my '79 Bonneville in '83 and I have regretted it since.

Wife no. 2, remarked when I wanted to get a Triumph in '05 that along with the bike would come a divorce. I wanted her more than the bike. Another mistake.

In '06 she divorced me but I got my bike in '08.

Twenty five years after I sold my beloved Triumph when I was forty I got the Speedmaster I am riding now at 66.

07 Speedmstr, Long Tors, bags, sissy bar and rack, windshield, engine bars, 2 ww lights, 2 fast eddy stickers and a .45 ACP.
