Member Info: Welcome to my Bikepics page! I live in the greater Seattle, Washington area, but I''m a native of Kentucky. I started riding when I was kid, on a 70cc trail bike, and loved it. I like to ride mostly Street/Standard-style bikes, as I don''t like to lean too far forward, or too far backward. My riding style varies, but I mostly like to ''really'' be going somewhere, as I get annoyed if I have to stop and take my helmet off and back on too many times, especially if it''s very warm out.

Info: So, that ''83 V45 Honda Sabre I bought last May, ended up being a waste of money, because it really needed more work than it''s worth. I got it in the shop, for what seemed a few minor problems, but turned out to be an unreasonable task. That''s about the third old clunker I''ve bought, that only lasted one short riding season before needing total restoration. Third time really is a charm, I guess,

Info: Finally...got a nice, old V4 Honda. This is what I really had wanted before the Yamaha Virago, but I don''t regret the Virago. That was a neat experience. The Sabre, however, is more fun. It''s a much more balanced bike, and has just the power on tap, that I''ve always wanted. I''m told it will do every bit of 140mph listed on the speedo, but I will most likely not attempt to prove it. That''s
