  1. My first street bike was a 1972 Honda 500 I bought from my uncle around 1987. I sold it when i got married in 1993. After one summer without a bike, I missed riding. I had saved up 1K to spend on a bike. I ended up buying a 1982 Suzuki GS 850 L. I did not do too much research, but I had looked at lot of bikes around 1K in price, and they all needed engine or paint work. The 850 I bought had great paint and good chrome. I liked the fact this bike was bigger then my 72 honda and would be a good bike to ride 2 up with the wife. Then, 3 years ago, I added a 1990 Katana 600 to the fleet because I wanted a sport bike. My friend Perry works at a local motorcycle repair shop and told me one of his customers had this bike that was for sale. Since this Katana had a known good service history. I bought it. I know both bikes are old, but they are bought and paid for. The 1982 850 now has historical plates, so I will never need to allocate funds for plates on it.

  2. Glad to hear you are recovering. Stay strong in PT and in your walk with God.Back in college, a friend of mine was riding his motorcycle was killed by a drunk driver. At that point, I know I failed my test of faith. I turned away from God and did not like who i had become during those 5 years after his accident. I wised up, and got my life back on track. People joke that things just seem to work out for me. I know that there is a greater power in control of life. Thanks for listening,

  3. I went to Valley View around 7:30. It was not as crowded as last week. I knew I would miss the 7 PM meet up at Mickey D's, so I just went to QS&L. I was able to park in the main lot since it was not crowded. I had my 1982 Suzuki GS 850, rocking the Rustorical plates.....er Historical plates.
