Well, from left to right: '03 Ducati Monster 800 Dark. Bike left with the now ex-wife '02 CBR954RR. This bike is set up for both the track and long distance sport touring. Sounds like completely different roles, but it's amazing how compatible they can be. '06 R1 and '06 R6. Both are on loan from Yamaha for the year for Zoom Zoom track days. We use the bikes (along with another pair of the same) for on track instruction and two up rides. '03 SV650 Race Bike. Custom subrame to allow for a XB race tail. '01 SV500 Race Bike. That's right, a 500. Deadly middleweight twins. It ran away with the ex-wife, too. Not in picture, but just in front of the Mini: Hybred EX250 with G-Force engine, FZR400 front end, ZX6 rear wheel, etc. Fun track bike. Vik |

Dora, i can't compete with the "fleet" aspect of this thread, but perhaps my garage is worthy of inclusion anyway:
fully finished and insulated, tall ceiling to accomodate motor home, custom-built workbenches (all screwed together, no nails) with recessed lighting (a total of 26 four-foot fluorescent lamps, including the ones hanging from the ceiling), plenty of pegboard and power outlets, built-in 160-watt four-speaker CD, lots of overhead storage, 12-foot r/c roll-up garage door, bathroom and shower, and a fair dinkum view of Isabella Lake to boot. the garage looks a little empty right now 'cause it's for sale (and comes with a free house and acreage!) info at Nice Garage For Sale.

Jerry, Yeah, I'd rather be at your garage than my friend's in Florida. His is missing a motorcycle and even though his Porsche is pretty cool, it's still not a cycle. I'd also rather have your scenery than his. |

Spidey -- thx. Mike -- yep, HAVE to have a motorcycle. Oldog -- Virginia is on the radar (somewhere around milepost 190 of the BRP, to be precise), as is Colorado and the Four Corners area. first things first: anyone wanna buy a cool garage??? FB |

Well, try this again... Oldog - Virginia first on the list. Dbirg - The Four Corners area was/still is very high on the list. Spidey - Thanks - We'll miss it too. Wish you could have made it to one of the Octoberfasts! RT - NOT. Bad lighting for the pics. - house is more of a light beige. Rocket - LOL! Bout the only thing left in the garage is the bike to rub on. Dora - A ways from San Jose - thinking of moving to this area? D |

Al, have always loved your bike, don't tempt us... Rocket, this IS paradise. the cool thing is, me 'n Denise are self-employed, and can live anywhere there's high-speed internet, which, these days, is anywhere. since our job is "mobile," should we want it to be, we want to see and live some more of this great earth before we "settle down." which is all a long way of saying, we've both got wanderlust, and we're doing something about it. Dora, thx, and we're about six hours from the SF Bay Area. Thang, a realtor would call our house "neutral." Denise is right: the lighting (and my camera) made the color off a bit in the pix. DBird, looking forward to riding with you again, whether we move to the Four Corners area or not. FB&D |

thx Alex and Rocket. Dora, looking a little closer at a map, i'm betting San Jose is more like five hours away than six. still a monster commute, tho. thx for the "best wishes," and same back to you. FB&D |
