Motorcycle Experience:
Started at 15 years of age with a Bike Bug engine mounted to the front wheel of my mothers bicycle. Then moved to a Vespa Ciao moped and a Yamaha IT 175 at the age of 16.
Got my first "street bike" at age 20, a 1983 Honda Shadow VT500C. Took my first trip soon there after and learned to take extra clothes when riding at night, but was hooked on touring after that. There were some "dry" years with out bikes but eventually I'd get the bug once again and buy a motorycle.
The current fleet consists of:
1991 Honda Nighthawk 750
1998 Moto Guzzi V11 EV
2003 Triumph Bonneville T-100
2009 Buell Ulysses XB12XT
