I like some high tech stuff, too.

My friend and Trusted Advisor's Hypermotard. A double wide and a Ducati. Life's good, man.

Is that 81 sticker on an Italian sportbike???

Why, yes. Yes, it is. Otto Von Blotto representin' more than just Ducati red...

My first trip to Santa Fe Importers for the famous lunch ride...

I rode in from the IE. Split lanes, hauled ass...me and Otto. I've heard great things about this monthly meeting of chopper dudes. Awesome food, awesome bikes.  They're right: good sandwich, cool bikes. Knuckle, shovel, flattie, FXR, coupla Dynas.  But, whilst I sit and talk with a guy about shovelheads and their greatness, I look to my left and what do I see? Otto Von Blotto stealing the show, drawing the crowd, holding CLASS with his new Ducati Hyper...

I guess Italians make everybody horny...

So, I'm talking with Otto and I get going on Captain Blaster's '59 Pan

Low and behold, Otto had met the man whilst jet setting in Italy. They again crossed paths in Japan at the Mooneyes Show.  Otto tells me that Captain Blaster is good people, mellow and enjoys good food.  Nice things to hear for sure.  Anyhow, the Panhead is beautiful and has been one of my favorites since the day I saw it. Spaghetti stripes I think he called 'em.
