Here are pictures of my 1979 Ford Mustang Cobra 5.0. I eventually added 351 Windsor heads, an Edelbrock Streetmaster intake with a Holley Carb, Rhoads lifters, Posi differential and a 5 speed.
Renting the Hertz Shelby Mustang was a birthday gift from my wife.
I took my 1996 BMW R1100RT to California and back. Straight flat highways wasn’t this bike’s best point. It was more into back roads, curves and hills. Once I made it to Denver, it was great! I made it through Estes National Park, which wasn’t as easy as it sounds. There isn’t any flat parking places in the park. Every time I stopped, I was out of breath from the altitude and nervous about the bike going down when I put the kick stand down. Once through the park I was on my way down through Utah, and that was the most incredible scenery ever! I’m from the east coast and it’s all about the same. Green and rolling hills. South Florida is the only flat land on the east coast. Utah was, well, it’s hard to explain. I took a few pictures. (I regret not taking more.) Continuing, I went on through Utah and down to Las Vegas where I spent some time with a couple on another RT I met along the way. I also went to the Start Trek Experience!
Once back Westbound, I met some guys on Gold Wings and rode with them to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and we all stayed near San Luis Obispo. Then I went onto San Francisco, went inland down to Anaheim and stayed a few days. I went to some of the Calvary Chapels, including Chuck Smiths in Costa Mesa and the Crystal Cathedral, Venice Beach and a party in Santa Monica. Then I went to San Diego for a few days. I stayed in Pacific Beach and visited San Diego Calvary Chapel and the zoo. A few days later I headed back east. I stayed farther south this time and enjoyed a couple beautiful areas of the South East part of the country!!
One of the largest Motorcycle Touring Rally in the World is in Lake George NY, about 60 miles North of Albany, NY.

93 Kawasaki Ninja ZX11
I didn’t own this, I rented it from a friend who didn’t have time to ride it. So if I left my BMW in Florida and drove my car to New York I would ride the ZX11. It wasn’t a replacement for the RT, but it was a very decent ride. It wasn’t uncomfortable on long ride and it was smooth and very powerful. If it had more storage space and wasn’t black I might have bought it from him!
This 1996 BMW R1100RT was without a doubt my favorite bike. It did everything well, it was fast, comfortable, handled and cornered well. Most of all it is without question the best looking bike ever. It took me many times from South Florida to Pennsylvania and New York and back. The ride up route 30 in New York starting in PA was perfect. Check out my pages and picture about my trip to California and Deals Gap!
94 Yamaha SECA2 in KEY LARGO Florida
My ’94 Yamaha Seca 2 was my first new bike. I had the seat cut down and bought removable soft luggage for it. I rode around South Florida, to the keys and around Lake Okeechobee over to Tampa. It’s been to Naples at least once. These rides weren’t the highlight of owning this bike. It buzzed way to much for any long distance ride and it wasn’t fast but I enjoyed it.
94 BMW R1100RS Thacher Park
I drove this from South Florida to Pennsylvania in about 19 hours. If it weren’t for the horrible seat I might have fallen asleep. I never understood how an expensive bike like this could have such a poor seat. I also thought the mirrors belonged on a bicycle. Other than that it ran great, was cool in the hot summers and lots of fun!
