I'll probably never ride it much considering, but then again it's gonna be mine until I pass it on to my son.

Well, good for you! Any particular reason you won't be riding it? They're grand fun.

Because I've got my Speed Triple and a Mini on the way! Actually I ride the Harley for Toy Runs, Poker Runs, and other things that are generally a slow relaxed ride.

Ah, ha.

Nice ducks!

My buddy has a Paul Smart edition thats spent a fair amount of time in my garage as well.

I couldnt find the picture I was looking for, so I'll just share the ones from the commercial shoot for a local bike show.

My Triumph and his MotoGuzzi Griso


And his Ducati in the back with the models. (please no comments on the girls, we didnt choose them... but I missed my bike being in the forground of the commercial since I didnt allow any of them to sit on my bike with pointy heels)


Its funny since I've got my garage everyone wants to bring their bikes over to play. We are some of the few poeple in Kansas who appreciate a good italian or british motorcycle over the oh so common *** bikes.

Just traded the 09 Mini S in to get a new 2010 BMW 135i. The BMW now has the role of DD. The Vette is Super Charged and makes 610bhp. Its the week end ride.
