Brad.....the ATC's count if you bought them new and raced them. I forgot I had another 200x a few years ago. It was original in excellent shape. I found it to be inadequate for an old fat guy. There really is a big difference thirty years and 70 pounds later! I was actually an expert class rider on the three wheelers. I won a lot of enduros and even trials events, wheelie contests, dirt drags, oval track races, hill climbs and I won several bets involving being able to do donuts on pavement. Yep..... I loved those damned things! | ||

William, Current inventory level should alleviate any of your fears of inadequacy. | ||

As far as I'm concerned... ANYthing that can be listed as current inventory should alleviate fears of inadequacy. | ||

And I thought I had a disease!! Those are some amazing list, I love it! I've owned 5 bikes at once, technically, but the Trident is still on the shelf! Garage space, tags and insurance made me drop a couple. Since one of the two bikes left is a Harley I always need a backup!! Keep them coming, it's really interesting how some folks like me were brand loyal for a while till something better or more interesting came along. | ||

I'm going to start by memory and just include the bikes I actually owned . . . not bikes sent by HD and Buell. Vespa Scooter - circa 1965 - confined to the yard with an occasional dash up the street when folks were not home. 1952 Cushman 711 Highlander - quite rare with the 2 seats. Still here in the garage and is in "showroom" new condition. 1987-1/2 Harley-Davidson 883 Hugger - part of the "buy it for $3,995 . . trade up in a year and get your money back program. I traded up. 1983 - Harley-Davidson XR-1000 - Still have the original bill of sale to a fabled racer. Dealer wrote that the bike was not to be operated outside "normal limits" or as a "race bike" or the warranty would be voided. Where the X with the ______ was . . for the racer to sign . . . were the words "F*** You" in large letters. 1990 - KTM 250 Moto-X 1993 - Honda XR650 1977 XLCR Café Racer - One of the better bikes I've ever owned. Won many "slow races" on this bike. 1888 - FLHTC - The one I wish I had back. Rode to 85th with Willie G and Rich Teerlink. 1990 - 883 Sportster - Bought and took straight to machine shop to be built into a 883 CCS road racer. 1990 - 883 Sportster - Bought and turned into a $25,000 custom . . . did every single part on the engine and frame. Paint was off the charts . . . Erik Buell rode it the first time he was at the house in Topeka and called the bike "dangerous". It was. 1995 - Buell S2 - White - first Buell to see most of the 44 states it's been ridden in. Did 37 states on a single "BUELL - Lap of America" ride in July 1995, 1995 - Buell S2 - gift from Scott Miller at Buell Distribution. 1996 - Buell S1 Lightning - "Barney" 1998 - Buell S3 Thunderbolt 2008 - Buell XB12XT Ulysses 25th Buell Anniversary - Birthday gift from friends. One of the funniest stories . . . about it being delivered. I was lured from the house under the guise of taking a 7 year old to get a haircut. . . .we were driving down the street and I see a new Ulysses on a trailer going the other way. I . . . yielding to the urge to "help" a Buell owner with an obviously non-running Uly . . do a u-turn and give chase. Pickup driver eludes me and I go ahead and take 7 year old to barber shop. Get home to find the bike sitting in the drive, with ribbons and bows all over it . . . and the delivering dealer laughing about having to evade and escape capture. That's it . . . I've made the leap to trucks and vintage sports cars with the Ulysses getting rolled out a couple times a year. | ||

Court, you mentioned the 85th B-day of HD. I was there on a BMW K100RS. We had stopped at the city limits to check our maps and when we left the side of the road my drive shaft sheared the splines at the diff. We had it towed to the dealer and chained it to the front porch. 17 days left on the 3 year warranty! Whew!! After touring the Harley factory I was impressed enough to buy my first HD, an 89 Heritage Softtail Classic. Beautiful machine but vibrated terribly. 2 years and 22,000 miles later I sold it. Maybe you saw me up there, I was the guy in the black T-shirt! | ||

"1888 - FLHTC - The one I wish I had back. Rode to 85th with Willie G and Rich Teerlink." Wowsers!!! A H-D prototype from the late 17th century!  (...just HAD to, little tickle in da ribs, man!) Loved the story about the Uly, thanks for sharing! |
