Hodaka 90cc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My 90 cc race bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My brother Jon had a 100cc Super Rat and that is the bike in the front. The bike in the back was my 90cc racer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I raced cross country races which is a tough race going out through the woods crossing creeks and trees that you carried the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I raced 6-9th grade and lost interest when I got my drivers license. Cars seemed to be more rewarding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Honda CB450<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My Honda CB450 was a fluke. Tod came by and asked it I wanted a motorcycle. “Nope”. He kept after me to make him an offer. I said as a joke $100 and to my surprise he took the $100. I put in a new battery and cleaned up the wiring, lights and blinkers. Put kit in the carbonator since it had been sitting for quite a while. It was a bit under powered but it was a fun bike. Sold it along with my XS1100<\/a>, F350<\/a>, camper and my mobile home to purchase land and build a home at Foys Lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yamaha XS1100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The XS1100 was the fastest bike I ever owned. I eventual got the carbs synced and then it ran very well. It made a good bile for under 50 miles and after than the seat was uncomfortable. Sold it along with my XS1100<\/a>, F350<\/a>, camper and my mobile home to purchase land and build a home at Foys Lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

750 Yamaha Virago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nice bike and it was a good looking bike. It was a fun ride and made many day trips to Glacier Park. Only issue was it was a 650 and that was not enough if you had to pass someone on the HiWay. I got a bit short on cash and sold it in 2011. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
