My sixth bike - Harley-Davidson Touring Road Glide FLTRi model

 This baby is my current love.  She is a 2007 Harley-Davidson Road Glide - FLTR.  I switched to this baby from my Fatboy mainly because this is a touring bike with a lot of storage space and 6-speed tranny.  But the funny thing is that I stopped making long trips after I bought this bike.  What a shame.

Oh well, at least I am having fun with it.    

 A trip to LA!!

 This is the previous owner.  He was pretty sad when he sold me his bike. Lol..

A ride to Mt. Diablo

A ride on Skyline Blvd

Always keeping her garaged

A ride with some miss Beauty queen

Another LA trip

Keeping her clean and shine

A ride on highway-1

On some unknown country road next to I-5.

Thanks for reading.

My fifth bike - Harley-Davidson Softail Fatboy model - with moat

728x90:

In 2007, I moved back to the US for work.  One month after I moved back, I bought my first Harley-Davidson.  She was a 2004 Harley-Davidson FLSTFI.  She has a 88 cubic-inch motor, which is close to 1450cc.

I bought it from a police officer in Hollister.  The funny thing is that I sold my Vulcan800 to a fire fighter.  I think both fire fighter and police officers have passion on bikes too.

My dream bike - HD Touring Police Edition

Sometime in 1996, I visited New York City with my friends.  I saw this police bike on the street.  I immediately felt in love with her.  This was also my first experience with Harley-Davidson.  I gotta get me one of these someday, I told myself.

My fourth bike - Kawasaki Vulcan 800 model A

After I graduated from college and got a job with a computer consulting company, I bought my first brand new bike.  It was also a cruiser since I kinda lost passion on sports bike.  I enjoyed cruising on the endless Texas highway than anything else.

My third bike - Kawasaki LTD 454

I came to the USA for school in 1995.  Shortly after I came to this country, I bought my first cruiser bike.  It was a 1988 Kawasaki LTD 454.

 The guy in the right is my buddy, Tetsuro.  We rode together for a while.

My second bike - Honda NSR 150

This is my second bike.  She was a 2-stroke 150cc Honda NSR.  Horse power was 28, which was pretty fast for me at that time.

 I got it right before I got my driver's license. I surely had a lot of fun with this bike.
