First bike was a 1975 Honda CB550. Back in 2005. Got it off eBay, had 3800 miles on it. Realized why the mileage was so low, some strange electrical problem that left me stranded more times than I care to remember. After a year, found someone who got it set right, ran perfect after that.
Next was a 2007 R1200S. Wanted something “dependable”.
After that was an 2010 S1000RR. Great fun, stupid fast ride. Someone stole it sadly.
Brief hiatus until 2016 when I picked up another 2007 R1200S after the divorce. Unfortunately, after burning both arms and hands in a kitchen oil fire, lost the end of that riding season. They frown upon morphine being in your system when riding apparently :) The bandages made using my hands a bit challenging. After finally being able to ride again the next season, had a bit of a spill and bike has been sitting in storage since. Miss riding a lot. Especially this time of year when you can hear the sound in the distance...
