10 Years on 2 Wheels - 2006 to 2007
I've been neglecting the blog but I've still been busy riding, wrenching, and taking tons of photos this year. I couldn't let October go by without acknowledging a very significant milestone. I bought my first motorcycle almost exactly 10 years ago today and, yes, it is the same exact same bike that has the black and red lace rattlecan paintjob that I still ride today. I took this photo yesterday while riding through Wisconsin. Yes, I swear it's the same bike. I've just changed a few things and put a lot more miles on it. I thought it might be fun to take a look back and post some photos from the last 10 years, one year at a time. While you may have seen some, I'll try to post a bunch you haven't seen before. Some will be a little embarrassing, but that's half the fun of old photos. This is my 2004 XL1200C when it was brand new to me in October 2006. I considered starting with a smaller bike but am so glad I didn't as I never grew...
