That's the problem with having more than one motorcycle.

I know, Lannis.. first world problem. I've been riding my (sort of) antique G5 a* lot* since I got it.. rode the AeroLario to the Wisconsin rally.. and thought, "Duh. your favorite motorcycle has been sitting."
We have a "where are you on your V11S" thread on the V11 forum, so I rode and took a picture of the pink elephant (fresh paint job

) that's been sitting in front of a liquor store about 30 minutes or so away for as long as I can remember.

Dang! I love this motorcycle..

Magical Scura...they are bewitchingly seductive!

I know exactly how you feel. Since I got my Lemans the poor griso has sat neglected. There's just something about a vintage bike that draws your attention away from a more modern machine. Every time I take the griso out now I'm amazed at how much better it is at everything comparatively. But , for some strange reason , for now anyway, I prefer the outdated 850. A little less weight and a lot less TROUBLE

You need to lay off the sauce.

I have come to the conclusion that I was better off that you got the Mighty Scura. I probably would have killed myself several times over if my credit union approved.

Sorry. The lighting was horrible. That was the best of the three I took. From the sides, the sun was behind the elephant looking west, and the pole broke up the frame looking east.
At least he has a new paint job.

I was afraid he was migrating when I saw the trailer..

A guy *could* get in trouble with it.

Pete binned it on the first ride..it's still wearing some of the scars like a medal.

I really love how the AeroLario and the Scura both have a little something "under the hood" that most people wouldn't know about.

"Drone engines? Mike Rich head work?"

It makes them that much more special.

A guy came over when I was *somewhere* I think maybe N. H.

I'm old.. and told me how much he loved his Lario back in the day.. until it blew up.

Must have talked for 15 minutes or so. He didn't notice the Aero engine, and I didn't tell him.

Myopic Pink elephants no less! What is that elephant reading that he needs glasses to begin with!? Ha ha!

Now I have to hunt for that rack, even though it's probably as available as Unobtainium!

More action pics of the Scura Chuck...there is something addictive about this bike...no doubt about it.

Sorry, Paul.. I gave one away when I ended up with two..

and yes, they are as scarce as RHS..

BrotherJim · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2018, 05:12:23 PM »

The Elephant has been on the trailer for some time, Chuck, although I don't know that it has always been. Rumor has it that you can rent it for parties and such. Glad it has a new paint job!

We'll have to amend your signature line, Chuck..."All a man can ask is to have good friends, pee with velocity, and to own a Scura..."
