Surely with our interest in high performance and handling somebody owns a MINI and a motorcycle. Here's mine. I've been riding BMW bikes (and cars) since the early 70's. What cha got?

2000 M900S Ducati, 2002 BMW R1150GS, 2003 Kawasaki KLX400SR dual sport and 2003 KTM 450MXC. I am going to trade the 2003 KTM 450MXC for a 2004 KTM 525EXC in August as I am number 2 on their 2004 KTM list. KTM's are almost as hard to get as a MC! Been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and I still like them better than cars, but the MCS is as close to the fun of a motorcycle but only with 4 wheels and A/C!

BMW F650 Dakar with lots of Touratech add-ons & jesse luggage, Headed to Copper Canyon later this year and would like to go 'round-the-world in 2005 but it's doubtful that my company will let me take the time off for such a trip.

I got a 98 Triumph Daytona 955cc, don't get to ride it much anymore only have 4000 miles. Occasionally have it out to run it, actually thinking about it today if it doesn't rain here in Chitown.

Ive had many motorcycles.
My last three have all been Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusas.
My first one, a red and grey 2000....started off like this,
It ended up like this,
Leaving my leg looking like this,
My second one is currently turbocharged and makes over 500 HP at the wheel. It has gone over 230+ MPH in 9/10ths of a mile.
This bike represents about two years of work and around $35,000 invested.
My third is a basically stock 2002 limited edition Hayabusa.
All black, just like my MCS is going to be,

Yup... here's me and the Guzzi along the Blue Ridge Parkway heading towards Deals Gap:
And here's the Ducati:
For various reason, however, I haven't ridden much this year. Normally I log about 13K miles a year on the bikes, but this year I've only been out a few times...
