Started out with a mini bike with 4 hp Tecumseh. From there went to 1976 Hodaka Dirt Squirt 100, 1978 Suzuki RM125, 1982 Suzuki RM250 (first year with water-cooled engine), 1984 Suzuki PE175, and lastly 1998 Honda CR250R. The CR250R was by far the fastest dirt bike I ever owned. I finally decided to sell it before I got hurt on it.

I had a Remington 552 Speedmaster when I was younger. I really liked that gun. Someone broke in my mom's house and stole it. Later on I got a 10/22 and I liked that as well. but somebody broke in my house and stole that one as well. I have a Savage .17 HMR now.
