My other motorcycles.



My first motorcycle was a 2004 Kawasaki Concours. It was a beautiful bike and fast. However, I found it wasn't my riding style (sport-touring) when I took my first 100 mile ride on it. Because of the riding position my shoulders and back were killing me by the end of that ride so it was back to Apex Sports to see what would work better for me.

What I found was a 1995 Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan. It looked like a nice bike and I had heard that they were fast. I rode it for a while but found that it was physically too small for my 6' 2" frame. I always felt like my knees were right under the handlebars. Again I wasn't comfortable. I sold it a couple of months later (I actually made $300 on it!).

By the way, while I was down to Apex getting the Vulcan I also saw this sidecar rig that I felt would fill another need in my riding: sharing this new hobby with my wife Belinda. This is a 1998 Honda VT1100 Shadow ACE with a Champion Legends sidecar. Quite a custom paint job on it. As it turns out the 1100 just didn't have the guts to pull the sidecar around the mountains like I wanted. When I sold the Vulcan I disconnected the sidecar and the Honda was my primary ride for a while.

My other cars.

Shortly after I bought my home in Colorado Springs in 1993 I came across this 1966 Nova and the guy was willing to trade it for my 1981 Corvette I had at the time. I considered my Corvette as an "old man's Corvette" so I was more than ready to do the deal. The Nova had a 406 SBC and the whole car was, in a word, AWESOME! It was beautifully done with a Porsche Guards red paint job with a little blue pearl thrown in. This car was fun and the fact that it was done made it even more enjoyable.
