1980 Yamaha XS 650
I really liked this bike. It was the first motorcycle that I bought after my leg was cut off. I got it from a friend of mine named John. It was pretty much as you see it but had stupid handlebars and old tires. I installed some Mikuni VM34 roundslides, new tires, clutch just a general going over for a bike that had been sitting for about a decade. I rode it for 2 summers and put about 10k miles on it. I sold it about 3 weeks after I got my '05 Sportster.
I learned ALOT about Mikuni carburetors getting these things to run properly on this bike but in the end I increased HP from 40 to 44, better throttle response, and actually got better gas mileage.
1999 Dyna Wide Glide:
I bought this bike for my ex girlfriend Kari. We were engaged to be married, she loved riding and I thought it was pretty awesome to buy her a motorcycle. She must not have thought it was that awesome because she called off the wedding and broke up with me. Anyways I sold it to my friend Shane. I really liked it but it was a good decision selling it. I bought Bradley's 883 shortly after selling this one.
I even swapped mid controls onto it because she couldn't reach the forwards.
I miss all the mini bikes too, but they had to be sold in order to keep Bradley moving up to bigger bikes
