Here is a couple of pics of my humble stable of bikes

I have been an avid fan of Italian bikes and I have owned a few models but I love the 90's Super Sport series. Currently I have the Yellow biposto 900 SP and the Red 900 SP that has been converted to monoposto.

The Harley is a new addition to the family, I got it so my wife and I could have something to ride together and its been a good surprise.

Love the Heritage. Best bang for the buck IMHO. Yours is a beaut.

My wife with a friend at the 90th and my Electra. Not wearing his President?


Here in Daytona. Is that a Rolex?


On a ride between Seattle in Sturgis. In Montana I think.


On the 90th ride from DC to Milwaukee.

I replaced the stock incandescent passing lamps and headlight on my 2003 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic with LED lights from Kuryakyn.com. They are so bright that I initially worried that they were illegal. Fortunately, they are perfectly legal. The passing lamps shine much farther to the sides into the ditches, so deer, moose and grizzly bears should be much easier to see. Here are photos of them lit and unlit taken today after cleaning the bike up.

This is what I rode 35 years ago, I bought it new in 1976 (about 3 months after I bought my Rolex 5513).

Looking to add a new BMW R1200 RT or the new 1600 GT/L... Nice bike!

Very nice. I'd recommend some stubby antennae to replace the whips and fairing-mounted mirrors.

I think the fairing mirrors clean up the look a lot. They work very well, but you don't have the stalks sticking up as in the stock mirrors.

Found this fun website

http://cycle-ergo.com/

Now you can check your fit/position on many bikes before you shop.

Nice bike, I was thinking about grabbing one (used, with the previous headlight design), but I went with a Monster instead. I love my Duc, but I always wonder how I would have liked the 3 cyl.

I test rode a Ducati Monster 796 and 1100 EVO. Both very nice bikes, but the Triumph really stood out. The Triumph Street Triple R is also a very sweet bike. More in line with the power of the Duc 796, but still better IMO. Much better high end on the Triumphs and not as fussy at low rpm's like the Ducs.
