2014 trumpet tiger 800xc. general year-round commuter, long hauler, middling off-road getabout. does everything i ask of it well. gets 75% or so of the 15-20k miles i put down yearly.



2015 trumpet thunderbird storm. my poser cruiser. some mild "stage 1"-equivalent mods (k&n airbox, tors pipes, dynotune) brought it up to 96ish rwhp and closing in on 120 ft lbs of torque. sounds great, and gives the ol' arms a good yank when i wick it.



my 2016 goose v7 ii stone! doubling up on commuter duties with the tiger. also have a huge givi tail case for grocery hauling. makes a great city hopper!

My Italian-made Husqvarna TE450 on snowy single track in Arizona on Thanksgiving Day. 

I LOVE this bike.  :thumb:



And my recent acquisition: a grocery-getter, airport-runner, commuter BMW K75s. These two motorcycles had different problems. They are currently one motorcycle and a pile of parts. I'm playing "free motorcycle." I have some more "merging" to do, and when I am done, I will sell the remaining parts for at least what I paid for both of them (maybe more).

Vespa 300.  :popcorn:

12,000 miles, runs like new.
Bought a new 30GTS Yes I get it. Very good scooter! I'd give up a bike or two to keep it.

The Guzzi one, the Ducati one, and the MV one:




I constantly catch myself with a stupid grin every time I get to ride one.  Each one gives me the very same feeling as the very first time I rode it.  While somewhat similar in appearance - they're wildly different in movement.  I'm tickled beyond words with each, and truly one lucky sum'bich.
