Hello out there fellow bikers

My name is Mo' I'm 65 and still madly in love with motorcycles and everything about them. I currently own a 2000 H-D FLSTC and a 2004 FLHRS. Both bikes have been ridden to L.A. and back to Chicago, Sturgis and back (a few times). I also recently had the Road King shipped to Portland, OR and rode it back home. I've love motorcycles my entire life. My folks wouldn't allow me to have one, so within days of being stationed at Yokota AB Japan back in 1963 while I was in the Air Force, I bought my first, a 1959 Yamaha 250. It seemed quite macho at the time. I rode it all over southeast asia, because I was part of a flight crew ( KB-50J) and the officers allowed me to shlep my bike onto our aircraft . I was honorably discharged in 1965, married with children before I knew what hit me. In 1974 I had a little business, a picture frame and art gallery. My dear wife finally gave in to my whinning and I got my first stateside ride, a 1972 Honda CB450. Very nice bike. I was disappointed when I traded up for a new 1977 CB750. It was kinda like an overfed pig. Slow until you were at the top of the RPM range, and it felt top heavy. Next was a nice 1974 BMW R60/6 followed by an R90S, which I had a near fatal accident on in Sturgis in 1980. Several more older boxers and finally, Harleys. At one time I had "one each" an electaglide, an FXR, an '87 softail , and a beautiful little 1985 XLH. The bikes I have now are my perfect choices and I love both of them.
I retired in 2000, and after a couple of years of doing nothing, got a job at Chicago H-D where I work part time to this day. I developed a style of photographing bikes and I have my work on display at our dealership. You can see my stuff at my website www.galeriedebris.com I'd like to hear from other motorcycle artists.
