I've sure had allot of fun and memories on these! Wish I had thought to take pictures of my bikes before my first digital camera. First street bike was 1980 (on dirt as a kid starting @ 1972).





 
Very nice rides you had & have.
Started my riding time in 1957 with a 1953 Zundapp 200cc, went thru several bikes until July of 2013 when I thought I had to give up riding my old Lowrider due to leg and back problems from Diabeted.....looked into trikes but soon determined that they were out of my price range a bit; but then discovered the outrigger set up; picked up my current ride, '94 Kaw. Vulcan 1500 with a Tow-Pac already on it......discovered that I truly enjoyed riding it and have ridden it nearly 8000 miles now.
Only "complaint" I have now is I didn't take enough pictures over the years and still have not figured out how to post what I do have, to this site.
People on this site are great and never tire of checking this site daily.
Ride often & safely...
 
I've only been "back" in the saddle since '09, so the past 15 years have quite the void.
Although I have great memories of the rides I've had in the past, these two have provided superb recent memories:

Started my ride career in 1970 with a 450 Honda, then a 750 in 1972 (put 31K on it in one year, rode to 20 states/Canada/Mexico, had ape hangers, sissy bar and custom spiderweb paint job, my wilder days of bumming around), then another 750 in 1972 (dressed it out), then a first year GL1000, then another GL1000, then a Kawasaki Voyager in 1984, then a Honda Valkyrie Interstate in 1999, then a 2002 Harley Ultra (totaled it out in a crash), then a used 1982 Honda Interstate (recovering from my crash), then a 2006 Kawasaki 1600, then a 2008 Yamaha 1300 Tour Deluxe, then a 2009 Kawasaki 900, then a used 2006 Stratoliner in 2011, and then I triked the Stratoliner out in January of 2014.........I guess I looked back a little further than the 15yrs. Thirteen bikes and 45yrs of great bikes, wonderful experiences, good times (except for my crash in 2002), and great friends along the way. Man, that was a nice remembrance for me, thanks for the encouragement!:D
Does that make me old!:confused: Naw, just "experienced"!;)
 
Life is fun and enjoyable most of the time.
I fell in love with bikes in 1963 and it continues.
I had a child hood dream about motorcycles. I would day dream real often thinking how I would do it.
Once I retired I started living that dream. Riding to places, building different bikes, just plain enjoying my retirement.
There is no way I could list all the bikes I have had through the years some stand out more than others but had a great time on all of em.
50 years of riding as of the 25th.
Boy this has been fun.

To the Op, it's just starting for you.

As long as the sun keeps coming up I think I will always want something a little better than what I have now. I think that's what they call human nature.:Shrug:
 
Whenever I buy a new bike I always say' This is the last one...<br />
<br />
Guess that will Never happen... <img src="images/smilies/shrug.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Shrug" class="inlineimg" />
