Motorcycles I have known

Here they are in reverse chronological order, all the motorcycles I have known.

• 2021 Yamaha T155 RC (Exciter/Sniper)
  Bought in นครราชสีมา / Nakhon Ratchasima.
  This is my smallest bike ever. But utility in the city is primary. This bike delivers.
  It will deliver even more after I add a top box. (Shad SH40 Cargo)
  Might have to replace the mirrors, or extend them higher, or something.
  
  
• 2014 Honda CB1100 - "Black Beauty"
  Bought in Roseville.
  Superior to the CB750 because of its excellent performance on highways/freeways.
  Such a beautiful bike.
  Smooth as silk.
  Definitely had a wild side.
  The best bike I ever had.
  Sold it to a wonderful young rider up in the Redwoods.
  
  
• 2003 Honda CB750 Nighthawk
  Bought used at A&S. They run a good business.
  This was the last model year for the Nighthawk.
  Currently in Joe's shed.
  It may yet ride again on the roads of Southern Indiana.
  
  
• 198X Suzuki GS850G
  Shaft drive.
  Bought it used for USD 800 from a guy in Folsom, without complete paperwork.
  Not a good ownership experience due to my lack of motorcycle repair skills.
  Still, this was a great bike in its day.
  Sold it for USD 200 after it had flames coming out of it by Thunder Valley Casino on an attempted Thanksgiving Day ride to Marysville. Note that it still got me home despite the flames.
  
  
• 198X Honda CB650
  Bought it in Laurel, Maryland.
  Rode it in Maryland, Indiana, and California.
  It always had an alternator issue. Just could not / would not keep batteries properly charged.
  Honda let me down on this one, but there were some very good rides nevertheless.
  The stranding (dead battery) at Alum Rock Park has not been forgotten.
  But neither has the trip to James Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton.
  Left it to Pete, who couldn't trust it to ride it because of the alternator issue.
  Last known location: Somewhere in the Santa Cruz Mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
  
  
• 198X Honda XL250
  Bought in Boise.
  Had at least one good day of riding it in the hills north of Boise with Joe and his buddy.
  Shipped it to Korea in 1980, but its crate was dropped in transit.
  Insurance paid me the full price for it.
  
  
• 197X Honda Elsinore 250
  Bought it used in San Angelo, TX.
  Parked it on the street near the bus station when I took a bus to Dallas or San Antonio.
  Somebody stole it off the street in that residential neighborhood.
  
  
• 197X Honda CB200 or maybe a CL200
  My first bike.
  Bought it used in Monterey from another Navy guy.
  Passed my riding test at the DMV in Seaside.
  Had some very good rides, including Jack's Peak Park and Big Sur.
  Nearly died in the Lighthouse Tunnel, sliding and sliding and sliding...
  Who knew about slippery wet pavement at the first rain?
  Who knew about first rain?
  Thank you, higher powers that be, for letting me live.
  It would have sucked to have died in that tunnel at age 18 as a brand new motorcycle rider.
  Sold it to another Navy guy when I left Monterey because that's the way that works.
