About 30 years apart.   That’s an ACE Supertank on the Valkyrie that I sold after it developed a leak for the second time. The Valkyrie has really evolved over the years, adding, removing, buying, selling, and trading stuff. |

You got bigger. The bike got bigger.  Thankfully I have no photos of me sitting on my Honda S90  |

How kind! I’ll go with that. The tide came in?
Thankfully, not while I was there. Getting out there and back to the pavement was a real chore as I remember. You got bigger. The bike got bigger. Thankfully I have no photos of me sitting on my Honda S90 Yup, I would hate to see a pic of me now sitting on a 360! Sadly the beach picture is about 15 years old and while not bigger, time has not been my friend. |

Last one I promise. After this bike, I didn’t ride for 22 years and it seemed longer than that.  The extended forks and high rise bars killed the handling but I had to be like the kool kids. |

I wish I took a few pics in the late 1980s of my decked out honda magna maroon red color. I had hwy. pegs, passenger backrest, lockable trunk with brake light behind, leather saddlebags, and windshield, loved that bike. I cried when I sold it in 1998 after 10 years owning it until 10 years later going cycle less until 2008 when I got my 2001 black valkyrie I/S. I have had that now 10 years so maybe every 10 years I am due for a different cycle although unlike the honda magna which I outgrew, I doubt I will EVER outgrow the mighty Valk. NO matter how FAT I get, there will probably come a time when it becomes too big for my britches to handle wishing I had a bike 1/2 that cc size displacement. I hope that day never comes.

Well, that's it. If it costs me my Doritos I'll just stick with the present progression.  |
