Motorcycle & Scooter

Bikes that are only good for a ten mile blast, racing from one tavern to another and looking great parked out front in the neon haze. It's tiresome to see a multicolored flock of cloned Road King baggers at the bars on a Saturday night, as if they planned the trip weeks in advance. If I need a grocery getter, I'll drive my Buick.

At my advanced vintage, I wouldn't consider the rigors of a two hour trip on any bike, but a quick ride out on the town with friends is well suited to a souped up and stripped down Sportster or limey twin. That single lung Yamaha looks up to the task, but I doubt I would like the exhaust report.

I'm not sure what that first one is- it looks like a Norton- but I like it. A lot. That's bad to the marrow.

Good eye.
