How many others have to split time between these two loves?

I had been eyeballing a Duke 390 for this summer before opting to boost the Zed instead. I'd kill myself on a fast bike so the KTM would have been just fine - my speed I prefer on four wheels..

Nice Rusty, Get any ride time today? In my area there were more bikes than cars, but a lot of both enjoying the sun.

2002 Triumph 900cc hinckley triple metallic gray/black


Bags long gone.. but if we are sharing photos..here she is.

ChaseZ 50mph is the new 90 on a naked bike..

No riding. Been working on the garage. Installing a new wider door between the garage and basement.


The 390 Dukes are fun little bikes. Been reading a lot about them.

I had a CBR600RR and a Hyosung 250R before I made a temporary move to NYC... Put the 600 in storage and loaned the 250 to a friend who was learning to ride. I had to drive for work when I was up there, and saw the results of some awful accidents while on the road and just lost my taste for it. Sold the 600 before I moved back to FL, and signed the 250R over to my buddy as a gift.

80% of people on sportbikes in NYC have a screw loose.

That being said... losing the bikes gave me all the reason I needed to go TT so that I could go fast in a cage.

Had a r6 and got rid of it for the same reason when I came back to NYC.

I've had several, but the one I hold onto is the 1987 Honda "Super" Magna. V4 cruiser with a sport bike mentality.

From my driving in NYC 80% of all drivers are Nuts! Riding a bike in the city is not on my bucket list. Cruise down a back road, take the long way home now that is joy!
