I don't have pictures of them all, but I have a few...
My first "big" bike, a 1981 Honda CB750C. I put twenty-five thousand miles on it the first year. It had an annoying habit of cooking the regulator/rectifier and I was stranded more than once. After two replacements and no money, with my uncle's advice I bodged it with a generic one for a truck and had no problems.
When my father stopped riding for health reasons I bought his 1991 Honda CB750 Nighthawk and kitted it out for touring on the cheap (remember JC Whitney?). The picture was taken at Marcus Dairy next to my friend's much more interesting Triumph.
This is my 1991 BMW R100-GSPD in flash green and black. I loved that bike but life wasn't aligned with motorcycling. I sold it after a few years when I realized I was putting more miles on it moving from one side of the garage to the other than on the road.
This is my current ride, a 2018 KTM 1090 Adventure R. It's awesome on the road and on fireroads, I'm currently running Dunlop Trailmax Missions rather than the OEM TKC80's (regardless, it's a real handful off-road and on trails for my skills and, frankly, age).
