Moto Guzzi Sweet Italian 750 perfect for tooling around - the seat gets very familiar after an hour so not a road bike.
Not too big, not too small, cornered nicely -- nice for around town
< |:)~
2003 Night Train.
Much audio. :)
1972 Triumph Bonneville T120V restored by moi: 
1973 Triumph Trident T150V - restored by Canadian shop - that's not black, but darkest metallic green on earth: 
All 3 old Trumpies together - they usually start on 1st kick..... 
1997 Harley Wide Glide FXDWG, Stage II, pretty much built by moi, too much stuff to list: 
2009 Harley CVO "Screamin' Eagle" Road Glide FLSTRSE3: 
ENJOY! I sure do!
Daddy like.
just gorgeous. for all their mechanical faults the British bikes were just the best looking. I had a 69 BSA, handled like a dream, horrible electrics.
Guess that’s a compliment on the stable? Thanks. I like too. Nice variety.
Which one do I like the most? The one between my knees....
Which is most fun? The Bonnie.
The best for city riding? Or off-road? The Trophy 500.
Which one is the real me? The Wide Glide.
Which one is for the all-day rides? Of course, the Road Glide.
Why do I not own a sportbike? Because the Trident is one and doesn’t start smiling until it’s at eighty.
Why so many? I have 8 kids, 5 with their own bikes, but when they are in between bikes they can still go on rides with their dad......
My 66th birthday present 4 years ago? Two sons come to me, “Dad - can you lead us and some friends on a good ride?” Looking in my mirrors on super twisty roads, I’m seeing 7 young bucks from 26 to 35 behind the old man and wondering how many men my age get such an honor? Of course I had to show them how to handle the twisties.......but the 35 yr. old on his superbike had to show me his tail on every straight at well over 100.....
While my peers are off on the links with other old men........
Love the new T100 - combines the best of both worlds - thinking of adding one to the stable - an ‘09 with 152 miles just got away from me at $4,500.00......was green & white, just as I would order one......
A friend with the exact same ‘09 T100 and I rode 80 miles of twisties together yesterday, I on the Bonnie.....
“Lucas - Prince of Darkness”!!!!
You wouldn't believe how often I'm asked, even at red lights, "What year is that?!"
I generally reply: "Guess. Tell me what year you think it is?"
They usually give me a look like a dog with its head cocked to the side.
And I don't know what the appeal is...but it is a definite chick magnet as well. I'm always blacked out in my gear, so it's not me they're interested in. It's the bike.
LOL. don’t I know it.
I also had the dubious pleasure of owning a 1964 Triumph Spitfire. Whose electrics were even worse than the BSA.
