Burgman scooter traded for anSt1300 traded for a Goldwing which I had for 3 years rode 60000 miles and traded for RT Limited last year July.Rode hard and enjoyed all of them.
Recently??? Wheelie08-16-2008.jpg
2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660... We "696ed" the engine with a 2mm larger slug (10:1 squeeze), did a ton of clutchwork, suspension work, underbelly armor work, HID lights, bodywork, opened up the exhaust a bit... A rock-crawler that really ROCKED!
The last road machine before the Spyders was a 2000 BMW R1100-RTP...former California Highway Patrol bike. It's still in the barn, but I don't seem to ride it much anymore.
-Scotty 2011 Spyder RTS-SM5 (mine) 2000 BMW R1100RTP, motorized tricycle & 23 vintage bikes 2011 RT-622 trailer, Aspen Sentry popup camper, custom motorcycle trailer to pull behind the Spyder
Honda 185 (decked out to look like a 450 touring model) -- learned a TON about drafting on that baby (about 1985 or so)
BMW R80RT -- 1986 to about 1988
BMW K75RT -- 1988 to 1993. Custom built by Plam BMW in Santa Cruz ,CA; this is the prototype that BMW used to base their own K75RT on a year or so later. It is also the ride on which I "center punched" a Toyota in 1993. The only thing I have left is the small plaque detailing the custom build (was attached just below the headlight) and the 100K badge from BMW Motorcycle Owners association (had 150K between the two BMWs at the time of the wreck). The K75RT was a well built machine, it took the blow and was totaled, I walked away with a few bruises and was shaken so badly that it put me off riding until .....
CanAm Spyder RT Limited -- 2012 to present; I'd been looking at the Spyder for over a year when spydercowboy (aka hogcowboy on some "other" forums) suggested getting one because of his own accident in January 2012 that left him with a severely compromised ankle. Was supposed to offer him a choice of machines to ride (either the HD Ultra Classic or the Spyder). However, I've ridden it more than he has!
Ryde safe .... Ann

1992 Suzuki GS500E. Air cooled, parallel twin. I know how to party. Speaking of which, I will be selling the bike this spring after I replace the fuel lines.
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

My first bike was a 1989 Honda Pacific Coast then I graduated to a 2001 Honda GL 1800 Goldwing. Now that I am on a SPYDER there is no going back.
