Hello all, I'm Ed Henderson; live j-u-s-t over the Union County line in Weddington, with my wife Lynn (who also rides). I'll be 59 this coming February, currently enjoying retirement ![Image](http://ironcreek.net/~ed/coffee.gif) although who knows how long it'll last. Bought my first motorcycle in 1973: ![Image](http://ironcreek.net/~ed/me%20in%2073.jpg) ...and raised Hell on it for several years, then took a hiatus from riding until 1998. Have been mostly a "sportbike"-oriented rider since then until recently, but now coming to recognize the joys of long suspension travel and an upright riding posture. Presently own two Suzukis- an '07 SV1000S with a few random mods, and a cobbled-together '98 Bandit 1200. Comm setup: Sena SMH10 on the helmet, SR10 radio interface, Icom F4011 GMRS.

Wow. I am speechless Ed. An angry young Peter Fonda with his Sportster, long hair blowing in the breeze. I LIKE it. Who else among us has some "old moto pics" to share? Brick, I know you rode a hardtail coast to coast back in '46--surely you have a few??? ![mjASAS htrhtd](./images/smilies/muhaha.gif)

Ok... Ed... I was only born in '46 and I did ride a '56 Pan Head ![chop chop](./images/smilies/chopper.gif) per coast to coast in 1973. All my photo's of that era are film so I guess I need to dig them up and scan some in... I'll try to do that sometime.
