Howdy Matthew!

I've been called a lot of things both past and present. My wife calls me trouble :lol: I ran across the "Tour of Honor" link while surfing the Iron Butt Association website and signed up for the tour. I've been riding since way back when in ancient history when gas was only $0.35 a gallon. That would have been in 1970something. Too long ago to remember. Anyway, I ride often and as much as I can and sometimes, thats not enough. The link below will take you to a few picks of my bikes from way back when and up to today. I like old bikes, but, I've purchased a couple of new ones along the way. Looking forward to updating my ride logs of the tour soon.

See ya on down the trail.

The pictures were a real treat. Looking at the styling of your KZ reminded me of my first bike. It was a 1973 Suzuki GT550. There are definitely days I miss it. Of course, gas was was WAY over $.35 when I started riding in '89.

I remember a buddy of mine rode a '76 Suzuki 750, affectionately referred to as "The Water Buffalo" That was a real SCREAMER! Thoser were indeed the days :D

Yep, the water buffalo was quite a machine. I stole a fairing off one in a motorcycle junkyard one time. I also took parts off a 380. One thing all three sizes had in common? They sounded like a giant cloud of very angry bees.
