> Which bike in your fleet do you find you enjoy the most and why? Inquiring minds and all

Wow, that has to be about the hardest question in the world to answer. Having grown up not very far from Will Rogers country, I've sort of adopted one of his sayings. I never met a motorcycle I didn't like.

Whichever one I'm on is always my favorite at that moment. The most indispensible one, emotionally, would be the Bonneville. It's not the most ridden, however, but it takes me back to the beginning of my riding days, which I regard with considerable fondness.

The most indispensible from a practicality and long-haul comfort standpoint is the Tiger. It's my trusted companion on the road.

I don't regard the Speed Triple as indispensible in the same ways, but it's definitely more than just a barrel of fun or an ego boost...it feels like Bonnevilles did back to me, way back when, except even more so. It's a very gratifying experience.

Grace, of course, was the epitome of elegance, of which there's never been enough in my life. I know I can live without elegance --for a while-- but I will sorely miss it.
