Last one I had was a 1983 Honda, I thought CB200.  And I though it would be easy to find a picture of it on the internet.  It is not, so maybe I am wrong on the CB designation, so alas, I cant even show you a picture...

I think there was a CB200 and, I think, a CB200T.

Sold mine when we decided we were ready to have kids. Wife said she did not want to raise them on her own. I still have a little TW200 to run around the logging trails with that is still street legal.  I can also ride around county roads when in the mountains with it.  It scratches the itch enough.

Not really.  My tank was more tear drop, and the forks did not have the rubber.  The seat was different too.

We trailered the bikes, 2 Goldwing's and 2 1300, to Phoenix from FL. Left the trailer at Phoenix and went north to LV and Salt lake, across to bottom of Oregon and down the coast to Bakersfield and then back to Phoenix. 10 days and about 2,000 miles. Since then we have sold the 1300, but I still have the Goldwing, thinking about turning it into a trike.

I found the PC 2 1/2 years ago it was a garage Queen. Had 10.700 miles on it when I found it. I keep a battery tender pig tail on the battery!

So the passenger back rest on these things look unbelievably comfortable.  Anyway that could be accomplished for the driver?

If you look at my Orange one I've put an aftermarket backrest on the Drivers part which makes it a pretty comfortable setup.

+ one on the back rest added one to mine and the 1300. Made a big difference on our trip, with added foot pegs just put your feet on up put on cruise control on those long stretch of roads and enjoy the views  :cool:

the 1800 hold appx 6 gal, at 40mpg, so around 200+ miles a tank. On our trip the 1300 have a 4 gal tank, so we were stopping at around 160-180 miles to fill up. Learned a lot on that trip, like in Oregon, we were not allowed to fill our own tanks and the gas nozzle in CA had those black rubber guards so it made it hard to fill the tank.

Ok, I'm going to get windy now.
Ya'll have forced me to dig up a couple thumb drives, which barely scratch the surface.

Motorcycles is something I use to take very seriously, the saying, eat, sleep, live.
Two years ago with no PARTICULAR individual reason, I decided to hang the helmet up.
With texting, laptops, and all around STUPID driving habits people have adopted, it isn't safe
to drive in a tank anymore, let alone a motorcycle.
I have over 500,000 SAFE miles on motorcycles. Been in 48 states, and my only regret is I never made it
to Alaska on a bike. On the plus side my wife has been on the back for about 300,000 of those miles.

Were both have multiple Iron Butt certificates, and paperwork around somewhere that was filled out and never
sent for a couple more. Just didn't feel the need.
I started riding street bikes when I was 18, on a Yamaha TX750.

This bike started my touring bug, my brand new XS1100 Yamaha. This picture was taken overlooking Golden CO

The ST1100 I bought to commute between home (N ark) and Iowa every two weeks.
Bought it in KC MO, snow storm that night, headed to friends in Louisiana, unloaded it
and ran around the gulf coast for a week. Loved that bike when I could get away by myself.

Agree 100% on the STUPID drivers that have no respect for motorcycles, that's one reason I have cut down on my touring as well.

This picture is of the wife and I heading out on our 25th anniversary run 9 years ago.
Packing was a challenge. We camped out with friends, got on a cruise ship for a week,
hooked up with more friends to camp for a few days afterwards.

Bentley, with two large people and a loaded camper, bucking a 30-40 mph headwind on I-90 I have seen as little
as 18mpg  :puke:
The 1200 wing, 75mph, by myself, 40mpg, look for fuel at 200 miles.

In 1983 I was riding in Fresno to go help a friend with his car.  No helmet law, had one, almost always wore it, but not this time.  Was on a city street, wide 4 lane.  I was in left lane going around a Bronco and I swear this is as vivid in my mind now as it was 35 yeas ago...I said I am in this guys blind spot and I need to get out of here, hit the throttle (look at that Twin Star and you can imagine the response) and bingo, this guy changes lane.  Bye, bye Bentley.  10 stiches in head, 17 in left thigh...and real lucky! 

Never had the Cojones to ever get back on one!  Ohh, he swerved to miss a cat the CHP told me as I was sitting in the gutter with someone holding my head up waiting for the ambulance...

...and all around STUPID driving habits people have adopted, it isn't safe
to drive in a tank anymore, let alone a motorcycle.

Right after we finished building our house I convinced my wife to let me keep them inside.  Lasted about a year while I was building a shop.  Sold them right before we had our first child...still have the itch and hope to one day get back to riding.

We used to invert the front wheel/handlebars and tow it behind a vehicle down a gravel road. Kinda like wakeboarding but ya gotta dodge the rocks.  :o Sometimes I wonder how we survived...

I've no pics of mine but it was a Triumph TR6C. Can't find anything on the www that looks even close.

I put a hard tail frame on it and it looked very cool. Fabricated some forward shift/brake controls, and it was easy to ride for short periods. Long rides? Not so much. No rear suspension is very hard on the back.

This is as close as I can find...
