1972 Yamaha R5C at White Beach, Okinawa

I scanned in this picture I found of my R5C on the pier in Okinawa before it was loaded on the ship to bring back to the states after my tour in Vietnam on the USS Blueridge LCC19.

1975 Suzuki TS185

Found a picture of this bike I bought while going to the Naval School of Cryogenics in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1976. It was a pretty neat bike with 5 low gears and 5 high gears. I took it with me when I left Virginia and when I was stationed in Kingsville, Texas in 1978, I took a jump at a local motocross park and landed wrong and cracked some ribs. I ended up selling the Suzuki in 1979.

1978 Yamaha XS1100

I finally got a new scanner so I could start scanning in some old pictures I have. The 1st one I scanned was of my 1978 Yamaha XS1100 which was a very powerful and fun bike to ride although it was very heavy. I totaled it in 1995 in a bad low side that took me more than 6 weeks to recuperate from. I really miss this bike and if I could ever find another one just like it, I would probably sell my Superhawk to get it (well maybe, or I would somehow find more space in my garage).
