Other Motorcycle: I'd love an old Vincent
Okay, 2052.5 miles from Saturday, June 9th thru yesterday, Sunday June 17th- Milwaukee, WI to Omaha, Ne, to St.Paul Mn, to Crandon, WI, to Copper Harbor, MI, to Milwaukee- 2 days not riding while in Omaha- so 7 riding days and almost 2100 miles or almost 300 miles per day on all back roads, in the north woods, left, right, up hill, down hill, fast, slow, with 3 BMW's, 1 Honda Gold wing, a HD 1200 Sportster a 2006 Bonnie America and my Speedmaster. Yesterday, left Copper Harbor at 6AM and got home to Milwaukee at 5PM (11 hours stopping only for gas and a bottle of milk. I wouldn't buy a Rocket over my Speedy if they gave it to me. That Honda was like watching an old '84 Caddie vs a new Porsche 911 (My Speedy or the Bonnie America).
Triumph- simple, trouble free, two wheels, two tires, a chain, tach and speedometer. You can have the GPS, ABS, Heated grips and seats, cruise control, radio, CD player, shaft drive et al!!
By the time you type in your destination on the GPS, I got my compass and map out and I'm 5 miles down the road- without a radio blaring in my ears- LOL :-D

Not too many- when I get the one of all of us standing in front of "The Gay Bar" in Gay, Michigan, one of us wearing a hat like the Pope wears, I will post it- hope it turns out- LOL There is such a place.

Well...I suppose you could have stopped along the way HERE.

Not that there's anything wrong with either!
