If you've been to this site before and you know which motorcycle you want to look at, here's an index for ya!

Hey everyone. Welcome to my "Motorcycles" page. I had originally built this as a single page, however content of this page has grown to a point that I thought it best to create links for the 2 motorcycles using up the most bandwidth, which would be my first Harley (Carley) and my Boss Hoss (Godzilla). I have created these links in an effort to not exclude the dial-up community from enjoying my site. Enjoy. |

My first motorcycle - a 1978, 250 Suzuki dirt bike My first motorcycle purchase (predictably, against my parent's wishes), was a 1978 Suzuki 250. It was actually a stripped Enduro, so it was more like a dirt bike. I paid 100 bucks for it. I made this purchase when I was 15 from a coworker at an auto repair shop - "Mr. C's Auto." I rode that bike all over Albuquerque (in the days when you could ride a dirt bike on the city streets with no headlights, brake lights, turn signals, license, insurance, registration, etc.) for about 3 months before I was eventually "caught" and forced to return the bike to its original owner. Ahhhhh...those were the days...(I have no pictures of that bike). |

My second motorcycle - a 1970 CL450 Honda DOHC A couple years went by before I was able to afford another motorcycle. This time, being 17-years-old and licensed by the state of New Mexico, I was able to purchase a motorcycle with my parent's permission. She was a 1970, 450 Honda DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) which cost me $400.00 (I will post pictures of that bike when I find them). After about a year that bike was stolen from out in front of my parents' house while I was at the movies. I was so mad I vowed to purchase another 450 just like it. My third motorcycle - a 1971 CB450 Honda DOHC
Less than a week after losing the '70, 450 I found a 1971, 450 Honda for $25.00. I tore that bike down and rebuilt it. I painted her black, removed all the "Honda" emblems, and installed baby ape-hangers. I was, indeed, cool. That bike was my only transportation for the next 6 years. I still have that bike to this day. She still runs, too. Just charge the battery and add some gas and she's good to go!

My fourth motorcycle - 1986 Suzuki Intruder
Finally, in 1987, after purchasing a car and a truck, I saved up enough money to put a down-payment on a 1986 Suzuki Intruder (demo model). I actually really liked that bike and did some traveling on her while touring with one of my bands. She was black with drag bars...pretty kewl, I must say. I rode that bike for roughly 3 years before trading her to a buddy for a 1986, 250 Kawasaki dirt bike. I still have, and ride, that dirt bike to this day. (You can see it behind the Honda in the above, left picture). Here's a couple pictures of that '86 Intruder.
