what I find funny is that even on the nice days they are just hanging out in the parking lot of the local dealer

Rode a little over 400 miles last weekend, (up to LaCrosse along the WI side of the Missippi croosed over into Minnesota and rode the river roads back down into IA) 90% of the bikes i saw were "land yatchs" with a leather clad "pirate". Saw a few jap bikes, and didn't see any other Triumphs.

Were you on the Triple or the Thruxton?

I saw a guy going down the NJ Turnpike this morning on a Fatboy, no windshield, in the middle of the Nor'Easter the NJ coast got pummeled by. Now that's a tough dude! After seeing him, I dialed up a few more degrees on the Altima's climate control....

Been riding the Thruxton almost everywhere this year. While i enjoy the throaty growl and insane giggle producing horsepower of the triple. The looks and sounds of the parallel twin put a grin on my face that lasts all day

Most appear to have winterized around Baltimore--unbelievable 'cos today it's sunny, in the high 50s. I'm still out and see mostly HDs. Many are parked on dealer's lots, but a few are outside pubs--next best location, I guess...if somebody ever combines a saloon and a moto dealership, they'll have it made.

Yeah, well John, tell ya what...once you figure out how to get around the little issue of the Liability Laws which "might" pop-up occasionally with that kind of endeavor, I MIGHT consider goin' in halfsies with ya on THAT, dude!!! 
(yeah...gimme a call when ya work that all out for us, will ya?!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I'm looking high and low for legal counsel right now! Next comes the marketability analysis and a 5-year business plan and financing and, oh...it's giving me a headache...need a drink at a moto-pub...

Great name for your business there. Could even be a chain
