My 2005 Harley FXD Superglide on Route 66 near Oatman AZ during the Laughlin River Run a few years back. Some great bands play during the River run.

I don't have a camera, but many on here can vouch that I have a Suzuki Boulevard and I'm getting another Harley.

Here is my Suzuki SV650



These pics are a bit old. The bike no longer has the rear "hugger" fender and the rear tire has been replaced. Funny how the rear tires go bald so fast !!!!

My ride: a 1990 Kawi Concours


The pic was taken last January on a warm winter day. I ride whenever the temps are above 45.
