    This is the bike that I owned the longest. I bought this bike right around the time Uwe and me founded CruiserCustomizing. This was a great bike!

  • Description:

    My older brother Jim's best friend when he was a Junior in High School was a guy named Thomas M.  Thomas owned the Honda Super 90, and my brother and him would pop all over Las Vegas, (where we lived at the time), to do different errands and just run around town and be teenagers.  Many times my brother would head off by himself on the small Honda, and I was TRULY envious!  I was a year behind him … a sophomore in high school … and the year was 1968.  At that time in Nevada, a minor could own and operate a motorcycle at 14 years of age providing the cycle was less than 100 CC.  Once the kid reached 16 years of age, he could purchase any bike regardless of the size of the engine. Because the regular Honda 90 had a square tank rather than the more streamlined tank of the “Super 90”, I thought it made the bike look bigger ... and I wanted one with all of my heart.  My dad was dead-set against any of us owning a motorcycle for he had almost been killed on an Indian just prior to WWII.  (He was in a gang at the time before he was drafted and, (more or less), he was kind of wild and crazy at the time.) He was absolutely ADAMENT that no child of his would follow in his wild ways ... and to him the way to protect us was to refuse to ever let us own motorcycles.  The only argument I ever had in my life where I caused my father to cry was over that desired Honda 90 when I was in my early teens. The day I purchased my first motorcycle, I was a grown man with children of my own, and owned my own photography lab and one hour photo.  My Pop was retired at that time, and “worked” at my little place of business helping customers and flirting with my female employees. I pulled up on my “new” motorcycle and proudly showed it off to my employees and my dad … but he just looked at it, quietly took his car keys from his pocket, got in his vehicle and drove away. I understood his fear and disapproval … but it still hurt. My Dad passed away about thirty years ago … my Son Christopher was killed in an auto accident in 1995 six weeks before his 19^th birthday … my Mom died  almost ten years ago … and my brother Jim passed away almost three years ago.  I miss all of them with all my heart, and loosing most of my personal family has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. Over the years being a “biker” has evolved from just being a “cool” thing for me to be to being a very important part of my life.  I would have never believed that this “sport” could, (and did), become all consuming at times.  Like Cruiser Customizing founder Uwe, for several years I didn’t even own a car at all.  If it was raining, I wore a rain suit.  It was freezing, I layered my clothing.  (I never felt the “need” to purchase the electrically heated garments.) If it was storming with wind and lightning, I just “hunkered down” and kept on going. I even drove through a hurricane once … a wild and crazy ride to be sure! As I’ve grown older, I’ve hopefully matured a little, and now at least own a sweet 2005 Trail Blazer that I bought brand new out-of-the-box with all the buzzers and bells. I enjoy my car, and find myself driving it more and more as my health continues to deteriorate … but my first and greatest love and choice for transportation will always be motorcycles.  As I was riding through yesterday’s beautiful weather, I found myself feeling sorry for the “cage trapped” people riding along around me … for they don’t even have a clue of the constant rush of “freedom” and joy I feel every time I ride. There is so much sadness in this old world.  Loved ones die and are gone forever.  In a very real way, “escaping” on one of my motorbikes or the other is the one “bestest” way to keep me sane sometimes.   I have a sticker on one of my brain-buckets … (stickers’ are one or two line truths that we sometimes plaster on our helmets) … and one of my favorite stickers states simply, “You will never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrists’ office”.  That is so true! We are coming up on the Thanksgiving holiday.  Perhaps it would be a good thing to add this thing we are grateful for ... this simple little thing … to the list that we are thankful for.  “Dear God, thank you so much for this sport that enables me to keep a modicum of my sanity … and to in small little way to help me deal with my life.”

• Camera OK

  • From: Englissh

    Hello from France.

     

    Thank you UWE, for your input, I am lucky that Pamela and I have worked very hard in our life just up to when we could not go any further, then we get screwed with all the red tape and differences between where we lived the first half of our time to where we hope to finish our time. All we have got is ours, house, 2 cars and my Drag Star, we said that if push came to shove in France you could live on bread, cheese and wine, but we never take into account ill health and other stupid things like glasses and teeth which in France are classed as a lux not needed so the state dont help in a field which is already overpriced.

    I am getting of the subject, ( sorry ). After readind UWE's input about the price of cams I was happy that he linked me to the German site of the French site where my cam cost only 49.99 euro, it was shown as a sports cam and after I solved the fixing problem and my first test all seems OK. I will get round to posting some roads round us, i am happy with the image but the sound is another mater as the microphone on the cam is underneath so it picks up a lot of wind rush round by the bars, but for the money I know have something else to play with and keep me busy during the day.

    If anybody has got or has used the " Eagle 100 by Sumikon " I would like your input on this little cam as I am shure that I could do with some pointers although all you got to do is battery, sd card, switch on, choose quality and start and its away, maybe my AA's are too low powered or my SD card is too small or not of the right type, only somebody like you can help.

    Enough of this rambling I will let you get back to something more interesting, like like like oh well you know better than me, I am lucky no one can come round and break my keyboard but if you think about it I am about 9 hours from the UK ( ferry included ) and about the same time from the only CCC member that I know of in France and she likes chinese food, so my rambling is safe for the moment.

    I am open to all suggestions that could be repeated to a sober parish priest.

    Keep the grey coming long and slow.

In fact he can't spell it.  Get it??

    yes!, you just need the correct gear and bike setup, why do you think Uwe and Kyle have so many bikes?

    I will ride as long as I am Heathly, if I get sick I use the car until I feel better then I am back on the bike. Personal I like to ride in the rain.

    Ride safe!

  • Description:

    Well, like always I'm the last to know.  CC has apparently booted me from the states and sent me north to O'Canada !  According to my profile, I am now a Canuck.  No offense to Brent, PG and FB but I like my boots here in the Buckeye State.  Uwe, Kyle or whoever is in charge of member displacement, I would like to request to be placed back in Ohio.  I have to be at work early tomorrow morning so I need to know soon, plus it's trash day!

    Also, my profile pic is gone!  Am I being phased out!  Am I behind on my dues?

    Maybe I'll be an Aussie this time tomorrow...

    So much Fun! 

    Nadine loves PG and FB and many months ago she suggested we nominate PG and FB the "Coolest Couple" of Cruiser Customizing! 

    Since then, Uwe and I visited Nadine (Luuna800) at her place in France! Before we left we made this video and sent this postcard to PG and FG: Postcard Video

    It has been several weeks... and just the other day PG and FB received their post card and created this AWESOME Thank You Video: Thanks Nadine, Kyle & Uwe!

    I saw this video and LOVED it! The fight over the "best bike" was my favorite part! 

    Sorry it took so long Nadine to hand out the "Coolest Couple Award!"

    You all are the best!
