I headed out for a quick run this morning, just to run up Mulholland to have some fun in the sweepers, I took a break at the Rock Store,,,and had some fun jabber jawin with the other riders there,,,,got to see some cool Guzzis and a new Duc 1098,,,,just a great day,,,,sun and about 75,,,no wind,,,,you know the kind of day,,,,where all is well and you are just loving the sound of the 3 holes purring along. Then,,,I got this feeling,,,I am sure other T3 owners have had it,,,,at just how smooth this bike is,,,,I mean,,,jezz,,its 12 years old,,,almost 40 thou on the clock,,,and it rides like butter,,,this bike just amazes me,,,and as I was whippin though one of those sweepers at about 70,,,out comes peter cotton tail,,,,poor guy,,,I hope he didn't know what hit him,,,,,

But on a brighter note, he lived past easter! And better yet, you didn't join him...

I got to test the Trident's brakes on two different occasions today, avoiding the stupid pheasants that just love to fly up and across the road as you approach. Saw a herd of 20 or more deer, and stopped on the shoulder of the road to watch a tom turkey strutting about and showing off for all his female friends. All in a 40 minute ride. Sometimes life in the vast nowhere is okay.

Best,

Amen brother.

The good people at Hinkley got it right in so many ways. I've ridden a few bikes, but if I can own only one- this is it.
