My Baby

My favorite version of My Baby, 1979, she went back to original form in 1983.

Good Friends

Me and Sky King at 2003 Chiggerfest
Stan has an H-D Roadglide and I am on "V-ger", a Kawasaki 1300 Voyager

Old School

Rosie was born as the OMC factory closed in 84
Beulah needed overhauled in 84, but no job, no money for that. I had to find something else to feed my need to build a bike to ride. For $50, I got Rosie in boxes and rebuilt the engine as the previous owner blew it up going wide open on I-55 on his way to St.Louis, trying to keep up with some girls in a Firebird. It had a stock frame then. It now has a rear frame section from an original rigid Harley that was wrecked in the front section.
(I didn't hurt a good frame!)

My 1978 Yamaha XS650 Special "Spottydog" became my good friend as Yamadog and Beulah both needed repair in 94.

Dresser Yamaha

Spotty's new Sister, Babydog, b.Feb 2005

Babydog has a rear aftermarket Duo-Glide style frame section welded on. (Again, I didn't hurt Genuine Parts!) We have a set of fiberglass saddlebags so we can haul stuff when we ride. We got this bike, not looking for another one, but our very good friend, Hawk, got it in trade for a tattoo. He is a long time friend and likes Triumphs. We took Baby to Sturgis in 2005 in the back of the dually. We stayed at Glencoe for 14 days, so we took the 17ft Holiday trailer that you can see above in the Chiggerfest picture.

Our Jan 1, 2000 Ride on the 84 Venture.

Our August 2008 ride to Kansas to visit son on his 40th birthday on our 85 Voyager 1300.
