1971 Honda CB450
My first motorcycle. I changed the fork seals with my father, put dunstall replica mufflers on it and polished it like crazy
89 BMW
Today I had the car aligned and now the wheel is straight and the car drives superbly. The Dinan chip I installed makes a distinct difference as the rev limit is raised and I can feel an increase in power over 5000rpm. I am waiting on the shock for the Suzuki now.

1991 Suzuki GSXR-1100
I wanted one just like this when they came out in '91 and I was a senior in High School Back in Evanston, Il. I bought this last september off EBay from a buyer in the Chicago area and have no plans to sell it! So far I have removed the rear shock and sent it to Aftershocks suspension for rebuilding because the shock was completely worn out. I also have a new set of Bridgestone Battlax BT-016s ready to go on.

Welcome to my Blog! I have been reading about, owning, driving and working on cars and motorcycles since I could walk. I intend on finding like minded car enthusiasts with whom I can appreciate and share my affliction for interesting cars and motorcycles. I will publish posts as I work on my current rides: a 1989 BMW 325is and a 1991 Suzuki GSXR-1100.
