About Me

..............++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++My First car was exactly like this one. Dear ol' Dad sold it while I was in the service, I guess he needed the room or the money.This is the only Car I ever Built up for speed. It is a 1994 Mustang 5.0 GT that would bury the 150 mph Speedometer.Sheryl's new Harley 883 SportsterSheryl Taking Her First Ride On Her new Bike_____________________________________________________ David and Daughter Sharon sitting on my 1966 Triumph in 1969. -----------------My 1970 CB-750 Honda was a very fast bike for its day. It out ran every bike I raced beating the Norton Commando and the 500 Kawasaki's of the day.This Bike was our 1978 Yamaha XS-1100. It was the fastest production bike and a fine touring bike when introduced. ------------- The XS-1100 With Denco 4 Into 1 Pipe & Stacks.. I traded in my XS-1100 for this 1982 GS-1100E Suzuki in 1982. The Suzuki was faster and handled better but over all the Yamaha was my favorite of the two.--------I should have kept this little bike, it was a favorite of mine. It was only made one year and was very expensive when it came out. This little 500 would really scoot when the Turbo kicked in. It would leave bikes twice its size. The Honda CX-500 Turbo.This is Grandpa Doyle at 24 years of age in 1967: _____________________________________________________ Sheryl took this Picture of me and the Trophys I got that fall with this bike in Motocross in 1979.
