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
