1983 Nighthawk 550. It was my cousins bike but over the course of 2 summers I rode the piss out of that thing. Not my video. I should see if I can find one in decent shape. It would be a blast from the past.

I always thought the FZ's were good looking bikes, especially the FZ 750/700. Had a buddy that went from a ninja 600 to an fzr 1000. That was hands down the fastest thing I'd ever ridden, made my gpz seem even slower than it actually was. I bought a 90 ZX10 shortly thereafter.
The fzr ended up off of Angeles Crest one day, my buddy broke his collar bone. Another buddy in the crew ran a red light on his slingshot running from the law and a truck killed him, but neither of those incidents slowed the rest of us down any.

That little bike was fun. I was 18 and in the Marine Corps. It went to Myrtle Beach every weekend. Usually ended in a chase from Wilmington through Jacksonville NC more times than I can count. Topped out at around 136 indicated but I had a switch to shut off my lights. Man I did a lot of stupid things on that bike.

2006 GSXR 600 I was sold on the bike since it came stock with blue rims got it at 18 years old. Only had it for 3 months and 3,300 miles.

Pic is not of my actual bike but mine looked exactly like that.

I helped a buddy of mine fix his FZR 1k after a high side crash back in '87, he went on a task and left me the bike for a few weeks, it was a great machine. The first day he was back, he totalled it. I couldn't believe it.

Another friend had one in his garage for 20 yrs and I never knew it was in there until one day when I helped him move. I should have bugged him more to sell it to me.

I made my youngest son Orion start with a Hyosung GTR FI when he was 15. When he had rode it a year he was allowed to ride a Ninja 650R. Then after another year He stepped up to the Ninja ZX-14 he currently rides.
My oldest son Thor doesn't ride because his GF is scared of him riding a motorcycle. Tried to bring them both up to do what they want and not letting others dictate what they do in life, but on that issue I tell him to stop being pussy whipped and start riding he will love it.

My cousin had a SB which I though was a big deal as it was not a very common ride at the time. With or without surf racks, it was a chic magnet. Didn't have street bikes as teenagers. It was street ridden dirt bikes , after graduating from pedal bike mopeds and the likes, coming up from minibikes and that sort.

1976 Goldwing GL1000 LTD, restored it frame up when I was in high school. My dad used to be a big wing nut, and got me this to tinker on. Had vetter fairing and bags, typical wing upgrades. I restored it back to all original, won a couple bike shows with it.
