This has absolutely NOTHING to do with trad archery, but I just can't help it! If you're at all a motorcycle enthusiast, you'll understand. Pictures speak a thousand words!

OOOOHH!, Ducati and Triumphs, my favorites. I like. ;D
-
It was a toss-up... it was either this bike, or a Triumph Thruxton 900. Unfortunately, the Triumph would have been several thousand more. Oh well, I'll have to tough it out on the Duc!!!

I used to do it in the dirt, but if I were to go down the street that looks like it would be a nice one to do it with.

In 1969 I got out of the Marine Corps after combat in Vietnam and I hit the beach on St Croix. First thing I did was get a 12 gauge pump, a 1911, and a three cylinder Kawasaki 500cc. The cow was only limited by how fast I could cram the gears. I lived on the beach for seven years and after four of them I traded up to a Norton Commando. St Croix is only 14 miles long and 3 wide and I could get anywhere in 10 minutes. Back then there was only one traffic light and the police didn't have car radios.

Nice bike, I couldn't get that one in my driveway for a lot of the riding season though. Here's a pic of the one I ride........not as shiny as yours eh? Suzuki DR650se.........many smiles per gallon ;D

Nice bikes, all of them!!
I've recently fallen in love as well... I've never owned (or ever really ridden) a bike before, though I used to hang out with guys that did so I'm certainly no "stranger" to them. Recently I've been thinking about getting a bike and while looking into the options for a first-timer, I've found that the Harley Sportster bikes are legal for a beginner (over 18) to learn on!!! You can get a bike licence in Ireland at 17 but are limited to 125cc or less. The Sportster's lower range are 883cc!!!
I'm in love with the Iron 883!!!

Now all I need is a job so I can afford to get one!!! hehehe
Here's the killer, though... Being in Ireland - and all Harleys are imported, plus government taxes... They start at almost €9,000 - which works out at about $12,900. They go for about $8,000 in America :( Some mark-up, eh?
Anyway - something to aim for!!
