1986 Kawasaki KX 125 - Fun but I almost died on it everytime
1986 Kawasaki GPZ 600 - Loved the thing until my buddy wrecked it in Italy
1997 Ducati 600SS - The bike that taught me how to ride, way underpowered but great - sold in 2002
2001 Kawasaki ZX-7R - Heavy, underpowered, but stable as hell once in the corner wrecked in Sicily
2001 Suzuki GSXR 750 - Scared the crap out of me and then fell in love - sold in 2004
2004 Kawasaki ZX-10R - Still the most awesome bike I've ever owned, I love this bike! But I blew it up in Sicily...
2009 Yamaha R1 - I love the sound and how it rides...

Yeah John,

I remember being on my way to work in Sicily and seeing a ZX-7 STUFFED between the two axels of that 18 wheeler as he made a WIDE right hand turn!!!

I guess you didn't read the sign on the back of the trailer that said, "DON'T PASS ME ON THE RIGHT, I MAKE WIDE TURNS"!!!!!!

Nice how you perfectly PARKED it!!!! HA HA HA HAHA!!! Looked like you put it there on purpose!!!!! Do you have a picture of the bike?

I'm glad you weren't hurt!

I enjoy thinking about the bikes I have had. My father still had an Airel Square Four when I came along, I remember riding in the side car as a 3 yr old.
60's Velo-Solex (they are all over Europe, a bike with the motor over the front wheel)
60's Suzuki 80
64 Suzuki X-6 Hustler
69 Kawasaki H-1 500
69 Kawasaki 350 Big Horn
73 Kawasaki 900 Z-1
81 Kawasaki KZ-1000-J
95 Kawasaki GPZ1100
73 Honda CB350F
75 Honda CB400F
77 Honda CB400F
00 Kawasaki ZX-12
00 Honda CBR929
04 Aprilia RSV-R
05 Kawasaki ZX-10
06 Suzuki GSXR1000
Of the last 10 on this list I still have all except the GPZ1100.
The last 4 are my track bikes and all are up for sale, I will be keeping one of them. It is hard for me to let go of a bike only to wish later that I still had it.

That was the one where he made a left turn in front of me, and I had the choice of broad siding him or laying it down and sliding under the truck(luckily it had stopped as I went under it). He didn't realize I spoke Italian until a couple of them were talking about they could blame the American, then I got mad started yelling and cursing at him in Italian telling him that I had witnesses and threw my helmet at the truck. At which point he got back in the truck and locked the door until carabanieiri arrived... After I laugh about it, but at the time it totally sucked....
