We can do anything

Love the bikes, especially the matte black Harley. Very nice. Helmets and fuel tanks are cool, too. Nice pictures, thanks, Lando.
Riding a big motorbike in Germany is indeed a costly affair. You can ride it maybe for half the year unless you are really hardcore. As Beatle says, insurance and taxed aren't cheap. Just getting the license with the required minimum driving lessons will probably set you back $1000.
Shuba, the maiming happens at any speed. Riding in American cities with really bad roads, lots of traffic and very unskilled drivers plus many who don't have insurance and many objects to hit is probably more dangerous than riding overland. I haven't read the statistics on that, though.

@simon626:
Mrs Giles would be Mrs somebody-else if I got one…G
hahaha this gave me a good laugh (:
My mother said the same thing to my father when he was younger.
I plan on purchasing a motorcycle by next fall, just a cheap one. There are many people that do motorcycle cafe racer conversions in my area, and you could buy a fairly reliable bike for just $2100 USD. Insurance per year is $60 liability insuarance which means it only covers damage that your bike does to other objects, ie, someone's car, city property….but most likely you'd damage yourself first before you damaged anyone's property.
Guess what your mom and dad are gonna tell you!

He seems to have a good taste in cars but this thing is too gaudy for my taste. Or not gaudy enough? Perhaps if it had 24k gold plating instead of chrome and rubbed lapislazuli in its paint, with a patent croco saddle …
But like this it's not plain and it's not over the top, either. Just my 2 cents.
Rear tire is sexy, though.

Here's my 2 bikes.
Laverda Jota
Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans MK3
And here's what I want the Moto Guzzi to look like.
As you see I have a thing for Italian motorcycles.

It would be the next bike on my list.

Talked my wife into driving me down to Ft. Myers to pick up my new T100 Black on Sat. Long day breaking it in riding through the boonies on the way back to Orlando but it was great, sunburnt and saddlesore but it was worth the wait ordering one.
Of course I wore my IHs … what else would I wear
No pics though... just never seem to remember to take pics during the day. It was a perfect day as well.
