He's got an Eddie Lawson replica Kawasaki, everything else is Honda.  All 23 of them!  (OK, he slipped in a Zuki and a Hodaka)

Oops, just learned he may sell his Duster, yellow, 360, don't know the year; says he only put 25 miles on it last year.

Ron insures and tags 4 bikes a year, so everybody gets some road time.

This is my R-90.

The lesson here kids: be more like Ron, because Ron is living the dream. Those bikes are in good hands, and I'd be happy to ride any one of them. 

Ron 2020: the only sane choice

When I was a kid, you could get your MC license at 14 (Florida).  I couldn't WAIT!  All the 8th graders had step thru Honda 90s or their Dad brought them to the city auction and bought three wheeled Cushmans with a pickup box.  A month before turning 14, Dad announces we're moving back to New York.

I really like Ron's little black Super 90 but would  look like the circus bear on a bike.

My first street bike was a gold '70 CB 350 I bought in '74 for $350.00. It would fit right in at Rons. Nice collection!

Once we hired a snake, reptile guy to do a birthday party for my nephew and he has bins full of exotic creatures to bring out.  He tells us they all live in his living and dining room.  My dad proceeds to ask him if he is single and not married.  The guy says that he is married and looks at my dad wondering why that odd question.

Ron must be single............(JK)

The Royal Enfield Bullet cafe racer I was working on as a consignment sale left last week. The next day a 1964 Interceptor I bought got dropped off.

The wife was at the beach all week so knew none of this. I put it in the exact same spot in the garage the cafe racer was and fully expected it to take at least two days for her to notice it wasn't the same bike. Nope, spotted it right off. At first she thought it was another shipped-in project from the same guy. I told her I bought it.

"You have FOUR motorcycles now?" Followed by that look all you cohabitating guys know which is a combination of disgust and frustration.

Hey, I'm just trying to be more like Ron. wink

I hauled bikes home all the time when Ian was 16 and learning to ride.  She always met me with arms folded and "that look".  "Hey, it's for Ian".

Ian's been through college, four moves around the country and when I drag one home "Hey, it's for Ian".  She just shakes her head and goes inside ....

ooooo ... I spotted a single cylinder Honda Ascot in that mix!  I have a big time soft spot for those, and seeing that is giving me bad thoughts.
