Lol I was like inbeween 16 or 19 and about 105 soaking wet some people who shall not be named found it funny as hell to watch the skinny kid ride that thang and if I wanted to go it was the ride lol

I bought my brothers Triumph Bonneville 650 when I was about 16, I don't remember what I weighed back then. Graduated to a 750 Trident a few years later. The rubber on my footpegs were ground off at a 45 degree angle from cornering. This is the only pic of me on one of my bikes. Used to go to the Rock Store on Sundays on Mulholland drive where all the bikes went. Saw some cool stuff there.

They have a tall seat height, I was about 6'1" and 170ish? in the pic. If you would have seen who took the pic you would understand the Cheshire cat grin, lol. I miss Mouse, hope she had a good life.

What size is that an 1100 or bigger she not a bad looker ether lol

Every so often, I see a GL1000 dirt cheap. Always wanted to pick one up to make into some sort of Frankenstein ratrod type of bike. Seen some nifty ones over the years.

My last motorized 2 wheeler was a Vespa

Don't understand why so many seem to have so little appreciation for Goldwings. Maybe I'm just weird, but I think these things are kinda beautiful.

1975 to (I believe) 1980 were great models to turn into Frankenbikes. I think in 1981, Honda went with all the matching panels and fairings so you couldn't tinker with them the same.

Pretty sure you could still futz around with the GL1200s pretty decently. It's my generation, GL1500, that are fully integrated so you can't really do shit to them without serious modification.
