    Anyone else addicted to wind therapy? It's my heroin, I've got to have it every day. Lets see your motorcycles and scooters.

    Here's my 2004 Victory T.C

    Damn, I don't have pics of most of my bikes but I do have this one off the net of my Silverwing. I had a Kawasaki and a couple others as well as a couple off-road bikes and an ATV.
    The Silverwing was cool, I could take off the back seat and move the rear trunk up as a backrest for me and since I never carried anyone I had it that way most of the time, was only good back there if I had extra luggage I wanted tied down behind me but the bike had lots of storage space even with the seat taken off. It was such a comfy bike. I had this bike when I was about 20 yrs old and kept it for about 7 yrs till my brother convinced me I needed something new so he could buy it.

    This is not my actual bike. Just a pic of one similar that I found. I used to have two of these. One was a 1953 model and the other was hard to narrow down but I think it was a 1941 model. These don't really have serial numbers to identify them. You have to look at how they were built to determine the year. But they were cool and I eventually sold them to a collector.

    Thanks. I kind of wish I still had them but I know they went to a good home. Very rare bikes. They have a single cylinder engine and a belt drive that you can only see part of in that pic. On the other side of the rear wheel is a pulley (for lack of a better term) that is almost as big as the rim which the belt drives. Pretty neat. I ended up learning a lot about the bikes and their history when I had them. The designer previously worked for Harley Davidson before leaving to design Simplex.

    Most of those accidents were caused by bad riding habits. People should learn to ride by taking a motorcycle course. I took a Canada safety course, never even had a near miss anything like those in the video.

    This is my mid life crisis bike. It's a 2009 Yamaha FZ6R, after 24 yrs of riding it's the first sports bike I've ever owned. Now if I can keep my daughter off of it long enough for me to ride it lol.
