That second bike was a Honda, I actually forget what size..  I remember it was pretty cool but it was short lived (like a lot of my toys)..  I actually had a blown '68 camero convertable that only lasted 1 month before I totalled it in a drag race.

I'm 41.  That prom (1981 - I went to it the year after I graduated) ride was sweet - I think I've owned almost every kind of 60's & 70's muscle car at one time in my life.  Funny thing was my Dad was driving a Mavrick when I was in high school (He did also have a '57 buick ragtop in the garage too so he wasn't a total car guy loss).

Hawaiibusa I like the looks of this bike:

I too skipped almost a decade without buying a new bike - I've been wanting a Busa since they came out - only took 4 years to pull the trigger  :tounge:

Okay...my first bike was just a few years ago...not the seasoned pilots most of you are...so, from the Harley to the Busa...what a JUMP!
