Yes I’m a bit on the crazy side. I have been riding for over 50 years and there are some motorcycles that I have owned that have been absolutely pivotal to my life. I am going to put together a little museum here at So Cal Motorcycles of motorcycles I have owned and that have been so important to me.

My 1969 Triumph Bonneville 650 represents my first motorcycle which was a 1962 BSA 650 A65 Rocket. I also have my 1979 Honda CBX which I bought brand new.

I have just acquired a 1972 Honda 750 K2 that was a very large part of my motorcycle history. 

So my little museum will start with 3 bikes. There are some more I will be looking for like a Blue 1977 Goldwing, a Blue 1973 Kawasaki 350cc S2, a Red / Black 1986 Honda 600 Hurricane, a Ducati 916 and more. These 3 are a start and there is no hurry so we will see how it builds. It will be fun and give people a little glimpse into my life and some interesting motorcycles to see when they come to the dealership.

2020 Suzuki Katana Review
There are few names in motorcycling with as much clout as “Katana.” We’ve spent the last couple of months with this new machine to find out if it lives up to the name.

Reviving a name synonymous with a class-defining legend is a high-stakes game. If the model falls short of expectations, it can ruin a carefully built legacy at best, and cost a company massive dollars at worst.

We’ve seen this in the car game many times. Those who remember the butt-ugly Ford Mustang (it was really a Ford Capri) of the late 1980s can attest to the damage that model did to what is one of Ford’s greatest manufacturing exploits.
Reviving old monikers isn’t so common in the bike sphere—Kawasaki’s Z-range probably topping the old-bike-is-new game—but the Katana is something different.
