Steel Horses, any in your barn?

Sidecar is a 1999 Champion Legend - it was ordered and paint-matched at the time the motorcycle was purchased by the original owner (I'm the second owner).

The Silverwing is a sweet bike -- not too big nor too small. I'll probably be putting it up for sale since I don't really need that many rides

and, truth to tell, I don't ride it much now that I have the Nomad.

The CT-90's (I have a pair - 1973 and 1974) are for trail riding with my 14 year old son. Tremendous fun!

Honda has always made a darn fine cruiser. I'm a bit opinionated. My current scoot is a ACE.
The Nomad is a mighty fine machine as well. Plenty of power, a real sweetheart if you're gentle on the throttle. But give it a good crack and , watch out, she's got giddyup.

This is my trusty steed (and the Mrs.):

1994 Goldwing SE with California Sidecar Trike conversion. A bad lower back has taken me off two-wheels, but I find three are better than none.

Here's my 2001 Valkyre Interstate... Santa's two wheeled summer sleigh.

Sweet looking ride -- very nice!

WOW! That is just tooooo cool, Santa! Thanks for the pic.

Thanks, Rob. We have really enjoyed this particular bike. And you really should post a picture of your Silverwing. Would love to have one of those to tool around town...as you say, not too big, not too small. I've been keeping my eye out for a 650, but those are getting to be as rare as hen's teeth.

And Santa Wally...sweet ride! Does the bike hit the RV trail with you, or do you keep it "down on the farm"? You must get all kinds of KUDOS from people riding like that. Next time you and the bike are in PA, give me a shout, would love to share a ride with you.
