MOTORCYCLES I'VE OWNED SINCE DEPARTING FLEMING ISLAND
(Latest to Earliest)
My latest and probably last ride
Yep, definitely my last motorcycle. Had an incidence of low glucose and as a result, I blacked out, got on my Ryker (while in North Georgia, and went out to the interstate, and prompyly trid to ride under a semi. That was what I was told. I have no memory of that day or the week after. Subsequently spent the next 2-1/2 years in and out of hospitals, major surgery, several near death experiences and lastly, now have difficulty walking.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted - 57 years.
So now I am on my latest two wheeler:
E-SCOOT
Wave as you see me go by on the Interstate
40 mile range - 50-70 mph
2019 CANAM RYKER 900 ACE
Honda ST1300 1300cc 4cyl V4
(In front of the Ol' Homestead)
Triumph Tiger 1050 1050cc 3cyl
A great bike, but with saddlebags on, was too difficult to
swing a leg over
Yamaha Raider 1900cc V-twin
If my knee was still good, this would have been my final bike. But 760# wet ... too much.
Yamaha TW200 200cc - 2cyl twin
(this is the 2nd TW I had)
Honda XR650L 650cc 2cly twin
(A monster of an adventure bike built by a guy to ride through South America)
Yamaha VStar 1300cc V-twin
(One of my favorite bikes I've had)
Yamaha TW200 200cc 2cyl twin
(This is the bike I started my travels with)
And the Trailer I Built with My Own Little Hands to Carry Them
(built when volunteering at a Corps of Engineers Campground in Texas)
Presently being modifies here in North Georgia to carry my Ryker 900
And a Couple of My Pre-Traveling Bikes
Yamaha Roadstar 1700cc V-twin
(my favorite bike I've ever owned, highly modified)
Triumph Trophy 1200 4 cyl
The 2nd OMG fast bike I have ever owned. The first was an early 70's Kawasaki 900 bored out to 1140cc.
This Trophy was a Hayabusa beater in disguise.
Stupidly got up to 173mph on I-75 in Georgia once.
Traded it for the RoadStar two days later and never over 90mph since.
