1972 Kawasaki H1 500, I rode all over Oahu on my only transportation and never knew it handled so poorly :-)
196something Triumph Daytona, never finished rebuilding it because I came back to the mainland without it.
1973 Kawasaki H2 750
70's Yamaha 125cc dirt bike traded with my brother, never ran just sat in the living room for a few years, okay maybe a lot of years...
1982 Honda Magna V45, my commuter bike from NC to AL every week for most of 1982 until I moved
198something Yamaha Venture with sidecar
1995 Harley Dyna Convertible FXDSC
1999 Honda Shadow ACE
2001 Triumph Bonneville, now in FL with my nephew

Current inventory:

2004 Triumph America, the keeper :-)
1964 Triumph Trophy, new top end in progress as I seized the rebuilt top end by being to eager during running it in period.
1972 BMW R75/5 in pieces being refurbed as a Scrambler-esque runner

On the horizon: newish Triumph Scrambler, that 270° motor combined with that frame seemed so right to me I almost want to swap my America for one. That and a Buell Ulysses for long range stuff might be all I'd ever need...but I want them all :-)


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
