I have bought a total of 6 motorcycles..... 5 in the last 7 years.....which I feel makes me special.  But I know that I am at the bottom of food chain.

1978 Honda CB900**
2010 Ultra Limited
2009 Sportster
2012 Deluxe
2014 CVO Road King*
2015 CVO Street Glide*

*Still have
**Wish the freak I still had

So I was wondering...would you please share how many motorcycles you have bought during your Biker career?

Was the CBX a 6 cyc ?

Yes it was, people use to gawk when you went by them because the engine was so wide, but nothing sounded better then a CBX with a 6 into 1 open header!

I don't know about that, Serd.  I heard one with 6, individual headers at Sturgis years ago and the dang thing sounded like stock car.  Woke the place up when he reved it and got a few whoops and hollers when he cracked it open.  I always thought that was the a great bike but never had the chance to own one.

Like Haird I too spent a lot of money on vehicles. Not only motorcycles but cars and boats as well. I believe this comes from being raised by my German grandparents who never drove or owned a vehicle. If we couldn't walk or ride a bicycle there was no going when I was raised.

Here are the bikes as best I can recall loved them all. Hopefully the list will grow as I am going to be on the look for a 2004 Huckleberry as soon as I get the garage addition finished.
