1978. I've had at least one (usually a lot more than one) every day since then. I still have some of them and they still work. Apple IIe with all the peripherals. IBM PC with the 200mb hard drive I installed. 200 mb! I had no idea what I was going to do with all that space.

With panache, of course.

I had a 91 ST1100 like the one in that picture. I think 1000 miles of mud on it would be grueling. But people ride Gold Wings all the way up there so what do I know.

You rode a PC800 to the Arctic Circle? That must have been an adventure.

I can't ride low slung bikes. The seating position usually puts my weight right on my coccyx. Also, I hate forward controls. Makes the sitting even more uncomfortable and the controls feel weird. I really want a sport bike. Not the upright modern ones but what is usually called a supersport...

I'm curious to see how it compares to the Kove 800.

I learned almost too late that man is a feeling creature...and because of it, the greatest in the universe. I learned too late for myself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And when men seek such...

In case you are wondering what the decal is just behind the crash bar (and I know you are), I designed my own coat of arms and had one printed for each side. Because I'm a huge dork really cool.

My V Strom parked next to my wife's 650 Ninja. I'm glad she rides her own bikes. I hate riding 2 up.

Left Kalamazoo Sunday morning and rode up the west coast of Michigan to Manistee. Pretty nice. Coming back down the middle (while avoiding Grand Rapids as any sensible person would) was pretty boring. Lots of long, straight roads that all look alike. At least there were trees. Riding in the...

I need different bikes for different types of riding. I figure I need about 5 bikes. Maybe 6. 7 at most, for sure...

ST1100 is sold. Now I only have one motorcycle. Feels really weird. This aggression will not stand, man!

I love everything about it but the seat. Here's a bike you can ride 1000 miles a day on! Good luck sitting on that seat more than an hour at a time, though.
