And you can always make a chopper out of the Ruckus. It’s amazing to see what people do with them. Me — I want it as my little all purpose, go anywhere, slow and sure ride.

Thanks for the kind words. I just try to jot down the things that come into my head and if they seem like they have some reflection on riding or dogs or photography I’ll post them.

Never sure what will come next…

Conch — your Bonneville is a great machine. I’ve always liked them and wouldn’t be unhappy at all to own one. 90,000 miles…

I used to try and write down those sleeping dreams but finally gave up. No more notebooks by the bed. It’s the waking dreams I keep track of now.

The BMW R90S is a beautiful motorcycle — one I could easily be happy with. No doubt. The CB77 Hawk is too old for me to want to use it as a serious ride. Looks great but a nearly 60 year old machine isn’t what I’m after. A 750 Nighthawk on the other hand is a sweet machine. Like the black one. Love the bright yellow.

You can’t always get what you want…

He had one I was interested but it sold before I could get to it. The Big Ruckus is unique. But I’m partial to the little one.

My philosophy might work for me. Maybe. I wouldn’t suggest it for anyone else though.

I’ve been making selfies — mostly in mirrors and other reflections — for 50 years. You can learn a lot about yourself with them. Do it enough and you can see yourself age.

Judging and envy are pretty negative spaces. I try to avoid them but I can fall into the trap if I’m not paying attention. Dreams are fragile. They wilt quickly in the wrong environment. Usually best not to share them maybe?

With neck and back concerns to factor into a choice it seems the bigger, heavier machines will offer a smoother ride. Or maybe just a custom seat on the Burgman? I know a lot of bikes you wouldn’t want to try…

That K75 looks too clean…
