Over the two years that I have been on list I have seen many references to
Vanagon owners also having motorcycles. It seems like a disproportionately
high number.

The one brand of motorcycle that stands out is the BMW. I happen to own an
'87 Vanagon and a 1999 BMW R1100S (purchased new - that bike is the only
vehicle I have ever purchased new). I have also owned two other BMWs (a 1970
BMW R75/5 with a toaster tank, and an '87 K75S - never should have sold
either of them), as well as an '87 Ducati 750 Paso. Why does the year 1987
keep popping up?

Incidentally, I also used to run the service department at a BMW motorcycle
dealership. I didn't own a Vanagon then, but the Accessories Manager did
(she owned BMW motorcycles also).

So, question is: do you ride a motorcycle, and if so, what year, make and
model?

Cheers,
Bruce
