2002 Ducati 996
All I can say is wow! I loved this bike. I bought it from a guy in Michigan and drove all the
way there to get it. He pointed to a big house and claimed Eminem was his neighbor. It was
a bone stock bike for the most part, with Fast By Feracci pipes installed. It was fast and fun.
I can remember getting on it hard one day with my wife on the back and the front end came
up. It scared her but I road it for a bit before I let it back down. I rode this a couple of
seasons and decided to sell it. Still wish I had this one.
2002 Ducati Monster
All stock. This bike was slow, though fun to ride. I liked the way it handled, but it all kept
coming back to it being too slow. I even tried to change the chain and sprockets to a lower
gear to get more low end power, but it didn’t improve much. I got it cheap and sold it cheap
and I’m not sorry it’s gone. In the end it just didn’t do it for me.

2002 MV Agusta
After the owner of this bike was killed in a motorcycle accident (on another bike), the bank
discovered that while this bike actually existed, the titles on all of his other toys and
recreational vehicles were fraudulent—there was nothing to repo after he died. I was able
to buy this bike at less than half its regular price. It was a cool bike, though it didn’t handle
all that well. But I could never get it out of my head that the previous owner had died in a
pretty jaw­dropping motorcycle accident. I ended up selling it.
1978 FXL Before & After
If a bike ever had a dramatic history it was this one. It all started with a couple I met at a
Harley shop. The girlfriend had purchased the bike for him as a present, but when he was
hard up for money, he sold it to me for cash. Let’s just say his girlfriend didn’t take too well
to that and though it had been a legitimate transaction, she proceeded to stalk me for the
bike or the money, as well as any members of my family she could get a hold of. The bad
karma continued as I tried to have work done on it by the owner of what turned out to be an
disreputable, scam­pulling bike shop. I liked this bike but way too much drama came with it.
I unloaded it on eBay.

1967 Vespa Granturismo
I still own this. I found this on Craig’s List in the Miami area and had to have it. I was told it
had a great motor in it so I had it shipped back to MN and quickly found out the motor was
shot. It was also infested with cockroaches. I know, right? Gross. I did a bug bomb and
killed everything and pulled the motor. I put in a Stella motor with a new Italian crank and
larger piston and cylinder. It’s now close to 200 CC. I upgraded the exhaust and suspension
and put on tires that could handle the speeds that it can go. Now it’s a little rocket that goes
around 80 miles an hour. I belong to a local Scooter club and we have a blast riding once a
week. There is nothing like cruising down the highway flying past the other cars and looking
at their expressions as I do.

2002 Harley Night Train
I got this bike from a fly­by­night dealer in a trade for my BMW X5. This was a great bike
but I couldn’t ride any long distances. With the drag bars I had to lean too far forward, which
killed my back. It was great looking and quick, but I ended up trading it in on my 5th wheel.
