Three Bikes That Changed My Life. Sort of.

Daytona1 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:19:10 -0600

Motorcyclist magazine has featured "The Bike That Changed My Life" in recent issues, and the magazine's Brian Catterson recently editorialized about some of the bikes that changed his life. Perhaps to satisfy his ample ego, or maybe just to fill up space, Catterson featured not one but five bikes that were significant in his life.

Naturally I started thinking about the bikes that "changed my life". The term "changed my life" is probably a bit strong, but I suppose that in a subtle, Zen-like way, you could say my life was changed by a few of the
many bikes I've owned.

The guys from MotorcycleSmack.com went to the Long Beach Motorcycle Swap Meet on June 24th, at Veterans Stadium in Long Beach, Californinia.

This swap meet has been going on for many, many years. One vendor we talked to had been selling there for over 20 years. The visitors are mostly older, too, with many of them proudly displaying their allegiance to Harley Davidson on shirts, hats, and tattoos.
