History

[sam2019]

On my 70th I deem it appropriate to have a peek back at my rides, after all I survived the average Roman citizen by a factor of 2 and my Dad's estimate by probably more than that (quote: I dont support organ donors ...")

Some are missing because I cant find any pictures, namely a XS650 Yamaha in the 70s, a 750 Honda four-in-one (I had for a very short while) about 20 or so Honda 550 four (that I imported from Britain and sold in Germany), a BMW R75/5 that I fixed and sold, a 450 Suzuki dirt bike I owned on La Gomera for a season (then left abandoned on the island). I also dont have a picture of the 2014 Bullet 500 in its original state. Oh, yes, and one had wings ... an old 172A I owned when living in Houston.

I try to put them in sequence, from 1973 to, well, today ...

This is the first of a long line of Himas I owned since 2016 (it must be 5 or 6 by now, I still have 2 and of 3 I know the whereabouts)

My god, its been 10 years since I moved to Rishikesh. Time flies when you're having fun. This is my first visit to Taglang La on the Manali-Leh highway that was really a challenge in those days. 10 years later its a lot easier to ride.
