My name is Tony and I have lived and grown up in Illinois my whole life. My dad bought me my 1st motorcycle when I was 7, a brand new Tora from a buddy of his that was selling Bridgstone/Rockford motorcycles out of Aurora, Illinois. (I believe his name was Ralph Reese? Anybody know him?)
Anyway, some years later I outgrew my Tora and Dad bought me a Rockford 90. I ran through a lot of gas and a lot of mud with those two bikes and have a million good memories. Unfortunately, I let both these bikes get away from me and now wish I had hung on to them for dear life.
Forty-three years later and I'm still riding today, just my choice of motorcycles has gotten bigger... and I don't ride it through the mud!
I'm looking for a Tora to buy. Like everybody else a nice "Barn Find" would be nice. If anybody knows of anything please PM me.
I look forward to digging through this website and maybe making an acquaintance or two.
Thanks for having me.
Tony
