Originally, this was going to be a simple list of every motorcycle that
I have ever owned with a few comments about each one. I was going to invite
comments from other people who had owned the same year and model of bike and
make it kind of a bulletin board page. As I started writing this, I realized
that the story of much of my life could be told through the motorcycles I’ve
owned. Whether this is a story anyone wants to hear is debatable, but the
internet being the self-publishers haven that it is, it doesn’t matter if
anyone wants to read it or not.
So it turned into this. The New York Times called it ,"a sarcastic,
high RPM romp through the 70s and 80s", the Minneapolis Star Tribune
called it , "a boring rehash of some pathetic, middle-age man’s dirt
bike experiences" (never did like the Star Tribune), and Psychology
Today said that, "whoever created this site should not be allowed to
breed" (I thought that was a bit personal).
This is very much a work in progress. Stories will be added and revised
until it seems finished. I may also incorporate submissions (if there
are any good ones) into it. The icon next to certain lines that is supposed
to look like a camera indicates that the story has some pictures of the motorcyle.
