Correct, I should have specified "motorcycle". In the decades I rode, I referred to my vehicle variously as "motorcycle", "cycle", and "bike", so I guess I'm a bit sloppy in that regard.
I had a 1981 3-cylinder (850cc) Yamaha 850xs Midnight Special:
I had a serious highway accident in which I shattered my right wrist and only the Grace of God saved me from being flattened, as I flipped over the handlebars and landed prone in the on-coming lane. The bike's considerable weight and high CG were fine when I was younger, but increasing peripheral neuropathy in my feet made it increasingly difficult to manage. I gave the bike away to a friend a couple years ago.
