I did not pay close enough attention to know you owned two motorcycles simultaneously.

Oh yeah, kept the Streety and added the Speedy. #triumph
I don't really go railing that much anymore. Went once last year and it broke my fat ass -- the Streety is just much more comfortable for a day in the twisties while only giving up the peaks of performance that I was never reaching on public roads anyway.
It's only my coffee shop cred that's taking the hit.
Welcome to the dark side, friend. Those grips and seats heated or what?
Lets just say he's edging toward something with a stereo system in the front fairing.
I can always say you beat me by years, Nate!
I will say that I've already ordered some shit that will drive everyone bananas. #badtaste

Rolled out again last night (of course). Eat zee dick, thunderstorms! #norainafterall
Just beginning to lean it over now. Negotiating a slow-speed corner was nerve-wracking initially but I have yet to scrape so now I'm starting to explore how far I can lean the bike over. Keep in mind that redline starts at 8K RPM and it's got really good mid-range power. Combine that with the nimbleness and that's a cocktail for a really fun / cheap / slow bike.
I wouldn't be able to keep up with proper sportbikes but Bonnies & Thruxtons? Fuckin'-A, bring it on!

Went to see a showing of Blade Runner: Final Cut with some other scoot-jockeys at a local theater. The grainy image on the big screen and the solo overhead theater lighting actually amped-up the noir, I loved it. Great way to re-watch a classic.
After that I followed a buddy to his garage to see how far along he's coming with his Factory Five Racing Mk 4 Roadster:
Dart 302 block, bored & stroked to 363 cubes, backed by a Tremec 5-speed.

Didn't stay long, thunderclouds were overhead. Said my good-byes and motored off into the night. Life ain't bad.
