I’m sorry, didn’t mean to. I’ve seen cruisers being waxed poetic on this forum before.
And, the mystery that is a fully covered machine brings forth wide potential of possibilities.

Ducati Multistrada??

 

[Steve G.]

No, incorrect wheel. Ducati wheel colour though!

 

[Sikorsky]

Some Honda?

 

[doser]

wait for it, gentlemen... Steve, close, but the colour is courtesy Rainbow Powdercoating. I found/find the original black rims abhorrently boring...

At least I picked out the wheel anomaly.

jesus fuck,

Gotta say, it’s good to see the old terms being used. Absolutely no one in my workplace says this …… bunch of millennials and Gen Z’ers who can’t string together a decent set of curses.

You’re a brave man with the Brutale! How has it been for you? And wait a minute …… are you telling me that the weather is that nice in the Caribou these days?

Hey, I own three Ducati’s and a two stroke Honda….. the Brutale is a walk in the park. Good power, reliable. And fun. The pics are from last September. Been quite cold, even for March.

OK, it's happening! licensed, insured, honed up and ready to roll.

and as with every Spring, there is the ritual of buffing up the brakes, front and rear. turning 'A' into 'B'...

my little experiment last fall of swathing the chain in Bellray grease worked a treat! not a hint of rust!

now, if it would just stop raining... ( yah, i know, in May...)

Parking a bike outside, I understand this ritual. I recently rebuilt myBMW calipers cause it’s,,like 32 yrs old and over 200,000 kms and thought it might be an idea. Parked inside, it was a waste of time.
