Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

Working on the photo, but can't seem to get logged into photostash. where do I get the member number from?
current oil is standard Honda
Cruised north and south on my V-Strom 650 over the last few years. Decided to upgrade this year to something more highway oriented to cover more states.

Sound like Romeo likes to stir up the fights. 1. Standard motorcycle tire - but with a plug, 2. prefer to leave politics out of motorcycling (but the answer to #3 may give you a clue) 3. Helmet - still have family at home, 4 working on the photos.
Looks I have some catching up to do with RJ. Three times around congratulations.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. "Fat Lady", is that the nick name for these bikes. Hmm - I think I need to come up with something else. Just not quite what I am looking for in a name.

The nickname for Valkyries is "The Dragon" Sometimes lovingly called the fat lady too. Suzuki 109 is "The Beast" Honda 1800 VTX is "The torque monster" |
