....about the bikes I'm riding.

Motorists at the gas station, are prone to ask about retro Triumphs. Truckers often wind down the window and say g'day when I'm on a nice Harley.

Today was a first. He stopped so he could see it and asked me how much it was worth.



The kid from the wrong side of the tracks.
Stunning bike.

Nice- but it would look better posed in front of a proper locomotive:

Very nice photo.

I was just wondering if you'd ever photographed any steam Dave. You guys have some very nice preserved locomotives down there.

If you painted them black, they would be a lot less visible.

He just wanted to know the price of the insurance claim when he ran over it. : D

besides great pics i also have to add that the white does the 1125 more justice than any other color does imo. the scoops seem to fade right into the rest of the bike.

Red 1125CR is the first bike that gave me any pause to maybe trade in my XB9R...

What a good looking bike.

The scoops and the CR in general look much better in 3 dimensions.

Great looking machine in the flesh.

I did not like the looks of the CR at all when it first came out. But I've gotta admit, it's starting to grow on me. It's like a futuristic M2.

Nah - wrong. Not only a crap photoshop, not even relevant. :-P

It doesn't look like a crustacean at all in real life.

CR was misnamed, should have been Crab Racer.

Once upon a time a humble crab fell in love with Princess Lobster and she with him. They enjoyed an idyllic relationship, but one day Princess Lobster came to Crab in floods of tears saying that King Lobster would not let her see Crab any more.

'But why?' gasped the humble crab.

'Daddy says that crabs are too common,' sobbed the princess. 'You're a lower class of crustacean, and anyway, you walk sideways.'

Crab was shattered and scuttled away to drink himself into forgetfulness.
That night was the occasion of the great Lobster Ball and lobsters came from far and near for feasting and merrymaking. Princess Lobster, however, sat by her father's side inconsolable.

Suddenly, the doors flew open. It was the humble crab. Slowly, painstakingly, he made his way to the throne - walking dead straight, one claw after another. A silence gathered around the room. All the lobsters' eyes fell on the intruder.

Step by painful straight step he approached until he looked King Lobster in the eye. There was a deadly hush. Finally Crab spoke up:

'F***, I'm drunk!'
