The guy that started it all with a Yamaha RD350 that he kept down the street at a friends house pictured below with one of his many BMWs. There are no photographs on record of the RD 350 because of the lack of parental consent.
The early years...
Kawasaki ZX-7 Ninja. Is that hair spray in your hair, Phil?
Another Kawasaki, this one a GPz 1100. I tipped it over once trying to ride it in a parking lot. He made me walk home. Thankfully, he totaled it a few years later or I would still be hearing about it today.

My brother riding what he thought was the 'ultimate tour bike'. He finally came to his senses & realized he was much too young to be riding a Goldwing and switched to a BMW. He has also realized he is much too young to die and has began wearing a helmet on a regular basis.
After the grandpa years of the Gold Wing, it's been nothing but German-made bikes, sometimes 2 at a time.
Pictures from his most recent trip to Colorado with the BMW Club.
Tweetie, Phil's pet bird. They ran into each other somewhere in Colorado
