I Got a Motorcycle!!!

No windshield on that bike either. She would have had to clean it after every ride anyway. I wouldn't ride up there without a full face helmet. ;)

I haven't made the drive from the mainland US to Alaska, but I've heard the bugs are horrendous. Carry an extra jug of windshield wiper fluid and spare wipers because you'll be washing bug guts off a lot on the drive. ;)



A windscreen is also useful to prevent eating birds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9ICKVQKSNg

Great looking bike, Andreya. I'm a little jelly since Vskydiver says "no" to motorcycles. Dress for the crash, and have a great time. B|



Best you hand in your man card....:D

Some things are worth it. ;)

Nice pic, but one question John. Did you have to ask permission before posting it?

Derek,

Myself and another were coming back from a quarter of the country trip. On the road from Savannah, GA to Memphis, Tn... Someone passes us in the passing lane on a highway. They have a book on the steering wheel and are turning pages and reading while they pass us. First time I'd ever seen that one. [BEER]

Ummmmm, no.

My bike is classified as "Touring" for a reason. ;)



That winning Multistrada is a touring bike.
Believe it or not, PPIHC rules prohibit any bike that was originally built with clip-on handlebars.:S

It is classified as sport touring bike; but it is not a full touring category bike.

Thank you everyone for the congrats and for the warnings.
I’ll take the warnings to heart and really only plan on put- putting
around town on her. Back and forth from the station and the school.
I’ll be a “boring” happy rider. :)I didn’t spend any jump tickets on her she was a gift. :P

No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
Believe me I tried.
