SGA Bike
The Sex, Guns, and Alcohol, motorcycle is my favorite work.  It runs as well as it looks.  It is a 1982 Yamaha Seca 750, stock except for the slightly more aggressive handlebars and 4into1 exhaust.
When I bought this bike in 2000 it was a step down from the XS1100 (its very big brother), I was riding, but I could not justify so much motorcycle for the around town commuting I usually did.  
It came with a horrible green paint job, and it ran well enough so I just left it.  During the first season of owning it many people asked me if it was an Army bike.
I was able to tune it up and found out it was rather spunky and quite the fun ride.  That winter I repainted it with the camouflage.
Unfortunately the day glow orange bunnies faded during the summer, so I repainted them and used UV blocking auto body clear coat the next winter.
It was my daily ride to work, until getting hit broadside going to work 2 days after returning from BM, 9/5/03.
Currently it is in the shop, getting the motor replaced and repaired, it will run again and the paint job was hardly damaged.
