I love flying and bikes are about the closest you can get to flying�

Had a Honda Z50 as a kid.

Had a Suzuki GS550E in my late teens. Fun bike and pretty much top of the heap in its day until Honda brought out the Interceptor. Mine was looked just like this one.

Next was a Yamaha XT350. Got one of these when I was in flight school. Pretty good short range commuter and loads of weekend fun.

Next was Yamaha XT650. Had one of these while I was stationed at Ft. Carson. Great commuter and awesome weekend fun. Used to ride it up Gold Camp Road outside Colorado Springs and just had a blast.

Went for many years without a bike after that... Until I retired from the Army and my son and I started doing a little recreational motocross. Got a 2004 Yamaha YZ250F. Absolutely insane bike. Got rid of it when injuries started interfering with my work. I wasn't very good but I sure had fun!

My son was riding a YZ85. The level of performance those bikes are capable of is nothing short of amazing. He could keep up with me without even sweating.

All I currently have is a 2007 Yamaha FZ6. Good compromise between comfort and performance. I put a set of forks from an R6S on it. Handles and rides much better than with the stock forks. I ride this to and from work nearly every day the weather will allow. 45 mpg and 0 - 60 in <4 seconds is pretty nice�
