My first bike was a '73 Honda 450, that I used to tour mostly Canada, including Prince Rupert, Jasper and Banff. With the 450 being underpowered, I switched off with my then boyfriend's 750 on those long trips.  I sold it before I moved to California to join the CHP. I had owned the bike about 10 years.

Second bike was a used Honda '84 (I think) 900 that I did mostly local riding with for a couple of years. How I acquired it was a cool story, how I lost the bike, not so cool. This was back about '93. 

I am keeping my eyes open for a sport/touring bike 900 cc's or thereabouts. April 26th is my goal date to purchase a bike. I joined C.O.C. to rekindle my interest, rather the likelihood of riding again. I've been on some great rides but my dream ride is to tour Europe and maybe even pick up a new bike at the BMW factory in Germany.
