VTX1300

My passion for riding motorcycles started at a very young age. My first bike was a brand new Royal Enfield 350cc (Bullet) right out of high-school. I used that for about 18 months before handing it up to my older brother so that I could buy a new Bullet :). My first long solo ride was from Gujarat to Pune, Maharashtra on my 2nd Bullet right before coming to the US in 1983. My first purchase in a couple of weeks was a Honda Shadow 750cc followed by a Harley-Davidson 883. After I experienced my share of body massages, I bought a 2006 Honda VTX1300R. I recently sold that to make space for a new acquisition, which has still not happened.
