Cal on Raquel

Over the years Cal owned a few motorcycles - all fun to ride, all with great sentimental value. His first motorcycle was a 1978 Honda 750 that took him on a cross-country trip after graduation. That bike was destroyed (not by me) in Germany. I purchased a 1980 Kawasaki 1000 in Germany and brought it back to the US. Then I picked up a 1979 CBX 1000 which I restored. The Kawasaki 1000 and CBX were named Michelle and Renee respectively - these were the names of girls in High School who were older and very out of reach. Then the 1992 Dyna Daytona Lowrider was added to the stable - fun to ride and the only one Virginia Ann would ride - and even then only if I went very slow. Finally, the 2000 Ducati 996,Raquel(named after actress Raquel Welch, another boyhood dream), was purchased - a great bike. While the others have been sold, I still have Raquel.
