Runester

Hi everyone!!     I've been riding since 1965.  My first ride was a '65 305 Honda Scrambler.  Large bike for it's day.  Monster bikes then were the Full size HD and the 900 Sportster, the BSA, Bonnieville-Truimph 650cc I believe. My second bike was a 1972 Sportster 1000cc XLCH, the old kick starter. Those were the good ole days!!  :-)  There was a long dry spell without a bike... In 2004 I finally got a 1100cc Yamaha Classic.  Very clean bike. Then 2 years later I got MY RIDE!! A 2006 Stratoliner, Yamaha, 113 cu. in. 1900cc  What a powerhouse!  Smooth, powerful, sleek.  I love my Ride. I call it "La Poderosa" which means "The Powerful One". I got the name from the book "Motorcycle Diaries" I've riden over 39,500 miles, I love to ride long winding country roads. Like the ones in North San Diego county and in the Santa Barbara,CA country side. Time for a new bike, Well, I went and did it.....I was put in a situation I couldn't back out of.  I wound up with two bikes, both Stratoliners. I tried selling one of them but after about six months, NO BUYER...I tried to trade in for a new one but I was insulted by the Yamaha dealer. I then went to the Harley dealer and they offered me a deal I could not refuse.  I traded both Stratoliners and got the 2011 Ultra Classic Limited. It's a 103 cu. in. bike, it's got ALL the bells and whistles one could want. The only thing I need is a new exaust system.  I respect everyone's ride choice.  Whether it's American, Japanese, British, or Korean!!! 

I'm looking for riding partners in the Las Vegas, NV area. Feel free to contact me.

Love life, Ride safe, ride Hard.......Old Guys Rule!!!
