Title: Nov. 2013 Bike of the Month
Post by: FromMaine on November 05, 2013, 03:02:16 AM
Sorry for the delay this month, I just got off the ship, this tour was a bit of a mission.

The good news is that I'm in Milan now and before I fly home I'll get to go to EICMA, the worlds largest motorcycle show.  ^-^

This months winner is another member I've had the pleasure of riding with, we spent a few days together in Feb. a few years back at FGT. While there I noticed he's a bit of a tinkerer, lots of little subtle mods that make the bike just a little bit better, and the bike was clean as a whistle to boot. Anyway, its another bike I've had on my list, so without further delay.....

Finally, a working bike, not just a pretty one.

A bike that carries enough water to give itself a bath AND keep water in Jamie's radiator for 1000 miles.

Congrats Gary!

Good selection, though not sure if it is still a working bike now that Connie has taken over his life. :rolling:

3 days, 3 whole days, and only 1500 miles?

I'll cut you some slack this time Gary..............But next time............

I'm gonna guess the bike looks better than the last time I saw it.
