The Purple Rain Years circa 1996
	The Purple Rain years were the shortest era of any of my bikes, thank God.  So short in fact, there are no known pictures on record.  Purple Rain was a 1974 CB750 Four, purple in color.  My time ended on this bike on 23rd Street in Independence when a mechanical defect sent me over the handle bars at about 30 mph, nothing serious, just a lot of road rash.
