My first official bike was a 1975 XS650 in 2002. A former student gave it to me. He couldn't solve its charging problems, and he had been the recipient of a Honda v45 gift.

I recently sold my last UJM (1981 Suzuki GS1000L) and I'm ready to return to my roots and make my own Yamaha XS650 Scrambler.
Beyond motorcycles, I like older/classic cars and airplanes. I generally like to clean up and restore older things—radios, bikes, motorcycles, cars, homes, wood stoves, airplanes (if I had the money
