Missing my motorcycles
« on: October 23, 2021, 11:11:13 AM »
When you go away do you miss your motorcycles?  I really do.  Heading home from vacation tomorrow and I will probably spend 30 minutes in the garage just patting them. After 30 minutes of floor time with the dog.

Yes, indeed...  :thumb: :cool: :boozing: 

When I don't ride for awhile, then go for a putt on one of mine, I always think..."Damn...this is what I have been missing and what I need to cleanse my soul!" ... :wink: :cool:

I pretty much always bring at least one with me.










Now back in '17, when I was recovering from my back infection, as soon as I could make it to the shop with my walker I was out there.  As soon as I could sit on one I did.  As soon as I could ride one down the drive I did.  So I do know where you are coming from.

Anything with 2 wheels and an engine works for me.  So a scooter is a good substitute even a moped.  As long as I don't have to peddle.  Yeah, I do miss them.  Right now it's either one of the 1000S, Strada or Eldo w/chair.   :grin:

Yup.... Over the last 20 years, I have had 5 long term separation from my bikes, and by long term I mean 12-15 months. One benifit is it keeps the mileage down!  :evil:

When we go to California in December, it will have been 2 years (!) since I've seen the Skorpion. I wonder if she'll remember me?  :smiley:

Home from my travels last night. I took Lila out for a nice night walk, and then fired up the Norton, G5 and v50 in succession. All is well. I wish the same for everyone today.

I have to imagine it will be a while before you miss the little Honda Huzo.

Yes mate.
It will NEVER be sold until I die at least.
I took this shot 10 mins ago, you’d not know it did 18,000 km..
Have a look where the chain adjustment still is... :thumb:
