Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on

1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.

You cant PUT more than 5 but you can LINK to more than five. Use a host like Photobucket, put your pictures there and post the link to them here.

With all the customs that have been here lately it's really nice to see one being put back to stock. Guy (Placerville) would be proud.
