Christmas Duc

Normally I don’t take photos of stock bikes, but when I walked out of work on my break yesterday, you could just smell the new radiating off this one from ten feet away. Add that it was December 29, and I’m guessing somebody got a shiny red Ducati for Christmas. Four days later, it’s sunny and nearly 70 degrees.

Merry Christmas, Mr. or Miss New Ducati Owner, whoever you are. Now: go ride the shine off that thing.

Posers vs Actual Bikers

1920 Triumph

500cc and putting out a massive 4 horsepower...

No twist throttles back then. Those levers controlled fuel/air mix, speed, ignition timing, etc

Yes, those are the brakes - just like on your ten speed.

Belt drive repairs were simpler and cheaper ninety years ago.

Brown & Yellow Intruder

A spiked dog collar framing the license plate. How cool is that?

Lone Star beer. Yup - it's a Texas bike!

Union Jack

Hitting the Highway For a Cause

Gypsy MC delivering food and Xmas gifts to a family that wouldn't otherwise get it.

Kawasaki Eliminator

I almost traded my Shadow for one of these back in the early 90s.

I dig this light arrangement.

BSA

Cool Classic Beemer

No Excuses

It was 40 - 45 degrees and raining. Instead of asking for charity, this guy put his wheelchair on a sidecar and rode his bike to a Toy Run to help a charity.

A lot of people who normally attend this run either stayed home or drove cars. The kids get excited about motorcycles, so this guy joined in with those who didn't let a little weather scare them off.

I repeat: 40 degrees and raining. Sidecar to hold his wheelchair.

What's YOUR excuse for not riding?
