Mike's Bikes!

By Michael A Wong

Yamaha 100 Trailmaster, 1967: This is the same type of Bike that I bought from Ira Dahm, only mine was yellow.

Yamaha 60: What can I say...my first.

Kawi 71:  That's me chanting to the sun god (actually pushing my hair back)and Bill Koppler playing god. Kurt Moseley clicked the camera. That's his MG in the back ground. Note the plastic pot plant next to my front wheel. Thiswas shot on Serena St in Linda Mar.Man I miss those pants!!

Yamaha 180: As of all of my bikes, this one was expecially fast. Note the custom made chrome twin expansion chambers. I beat most of the big 350 Hondas of the day.

Yamaha 500 MackIII: It would turn 12.5 seconds out of the box. Never got any tickets on this one, they couldn't catch me. The front end wouldn't stay down. The older I get, the faster I was.

Yamaha FZ600: This motorcycle was state of the art in 86. It had a production number of 10. I was the first kid on the block to have one. It quickly was obsolete but I had the spot light for a few months. This was shot at Sears Point, was getting ready for a parade lap. Later took racing classes there.

Honda 550-4: My tour bike. Gary Kellogg and I did an epic journey into WA state loaded down with back packs to climb in the Olympics. This bike was horribly slow but always reliable.

Honda CB1400 Ahh, this is my current baby. She can out handle most any bike on the rode. It has gear driven cams, 41 mm forks with big springs, carbs are jetted and breath completly freely, open pipes, redlines at 13'500 rpm, wide sticky tires, radar detecter, stops and turns on a dime and is my favorite color. - Mike

Honda V30: I loved this bike, and it was fast. Had the smoothest gear box that I ever felt. V4, an expensive way to build a motor. Man, wish I still had this one.
