Well my nephew just came and loaded up my 79 XS1100 Yamaha that I didn't ride anymore.
I asked him if he wanted it and he could have it if he just came an took it. It was hard to watch it leave but I have lost my motorcycle fever to think at one time I had 2 street bikes 4 trail bikes a Honda Odyssey and a ski boat. I have gotten rid of all my toys and now have my shop I have always wanted.
I still have one more toy I'd like to get rid of a 79 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz (haven't drove it in several years) then I could get maybe one more new toy. :big: :big:
 
I remember when those 1100s came out, what a bike. I was riding a 900 Kaw at the time and I thought I was fast. Now I'm just content watching my son ride his dirt bike. I took a HD Lowrider for a test ride last year but it just wasn't for me. I'm kinda liking 4 wheels under me these days. Now the Caddy I don't remember, maybe it was because no one in my neighborhood had one but good luck getting rid of it anyways. More space is always good.
I have found as I get older I no longer want the toys as I once did, but a big chunk of aluminum exites me to no end. Hopefully I'm not the only one who feels this way. When my kids ask me what I want for christmas I always tell them a big chunk of aluminum. I still get socks and t-shirts. It's a good thing someone in my family is practical because I'd probably would be walking around with steel chips in my barefeet and Magictap for cologne if left on my own.
Well good luck filling your newfound space, maybe an OD grinder. Dave
