What else have you rode besides Kawasaki?

[Ruger]

Allstate Moped
Moto Guzzi 125
Honda 305 Scrambler
Triumph 650 powered chopper
Yamaha L2
Ducati 350
Motoguzzi 850 Elderado
Suzuki 175
Suzuki GT380
Kawasaki KZ1000 Police
Honda GoldWing 1000
HD Road King Police
Kawasaki VN900 Classic

Those are the ones I can remember. I have ridden other bikes (Ducati Desmo, other HDs, etc.) but only "test" rides so I didn't have enough miles/time to really know the bike.

I had a bike shop and raced back in the 70’s, so up till the late 80s I worked on and rode just about everything, I’ve owned flat heads, knuckleheads, panheads Triumphs, Nortons, Vincents, Yamahas, Kawasakis, Huskies and a Honda 750, took a break thru the 90’s and now own a 04 V2K, still own a 57 Triumph, 55 Vincent, 62 Norton Commando and a 63 Panhead, all stock in showroom condition. They are worth way to much to ride more than once or twice a year. My favorite was and is the Vincent, but parts are an issue these days and I don't have a shop to make them anymore.

Started with a Honda 650CX Custom. Went to a Honda VF700 Magna. Then backwards to a leftover '82 Honda CBX. Then stopped for many years. Picked up a '96 Honda Shadow ACE in 2000. Then bought my current Kawasaki Nomad.

My previous and only other bike was a Suzuki Marauder 800. Was a nice starter bike, but I needed something bigger and the 900 LT classic fits me great.

Man we are all going to be gone someday. They are meant to be ridden, so ride em. You can only sit and look at em for so long.

Due to my smartass nature, my first impulse everytime I see this threat topic is to reply with "your mom".

My first true motorcycle was a 1970 Bridgestone 100GP which I bought new and still have. Fast little bike. Was out of riding until about 5 years ago and bought a 1993 Honda 250XL street legal. Had a blast on that bike, still wish I had it. From there I bought a 2001 Suzuki 800 Volusia which I had all of 4 months and traded up to my Vulcan Classic 1500 and have had for 3 years. Love the bike!! Bought a Honda Shadow 750 for my son to ride and then last year traded that in for a Harley Sportster 1200. Very fun bike to ride. I also have a 1980 Honda Passport C70 that I ride around the neighborhood. Great little bike.
