{ { { SERIES } } } My eBay Obsessions

Yet another of my many failed attempts at buying a Panhead. This thing is still, in my very humble opinion, one of the best looking motorcycles in recent years. Gorgeous. I bid on it, got in the game just toward the end like a good eBayer should, and...wait for it...







...the bidding shot beyond my budget at a blindingly fast pace and I didn't "win the item".

The best variation to date





Turk's bike at the LBC swap.  It has a ton of class and personality.  Pretty quick change from the "Breakfast Chain", but what a great job. Shifting would make me crash, but I'd give it a try.  Bad news for Turk, though.  When you get this close to the perfect set up, you gotta buy a new bike to work your ideas on.

Oh no...

So I ride this:



It's a 116 horsepower Dyna Sport with upgraded suspension and brakes. It's pretty fun. I like my Dyna, but my riding buddy has a Ducati. A Ducati! I mean, granted, the dude IS a male model, but still. The Duc is rad, but too small for me. I'm what some would call "husky".

So, today I got to obsessing over a bike that would be fitting of my build, yet have the "it" factor that I seem to need.  I kept coming up with the Multistrada. It makes sense. Good size, great performance, a riding position that works for me. But, man, I can't get behind the looks of a stock Multi.


I had a picture from a while back on my phone of a modified multi. Pretty sexy, I mean way better, right? But still a little off.


So, I take some time whilst my wife is watching Project Runway and look for a reason to torture myself. Well, I found it. My god, did I find it.




Yeah. I would.

They're all beautiful for their own reasons



Sometimes this is my entire outlook on life.


Shovels really do rule.





Mr. Boyle's handiwork


Cool little Ironhead, AMF had great tank graphics



Gun nut, or hoping not to get run down on that bike?


Something on Harpoon's bike other than that badass tank
