Last Sunday it was nice and sunny. Both were great opportunities to stretch the legs of these motorcycles, they have been confined for too long, an extended winter. #ducati #ducatimultistrada #2013multistrada #pikespeak #hondamotorcycles #hondacx500 #cx500 #1980hondacx500Hope all are fine! And minimizing social contact, or in total isolation if needed and required in your region of the world. While this doesn’t go away, let’s see what I can do. Where do I start? Two oil changes done and five to go. #motorcycle #isolation #socialdistancing #ducati #ktm #honda #yamaha #triumph #funatthegarage #staysafeTBT. This was my 2012 Ducati StreetFighter 848. One of those bikes you regret selling (well, I regret selling it more than other bikes because I regret selling any and all of them). I knew someone who had one on the same color (yes you know who you are...:)), I had asked for her to let me know first, before selling it... so I had an option to buy it and then I learned she sold it to someone else... Well, let’s say I saved some money by not knowing she had sold it. So maybe thank you... because I would had bought it... :) Anyway it was quite the looker, loved the yellow color from the time Ducati was dating Mercedes before it married Audi. #ducati #streetfighter #848 #streetfighter848 #yellowmotorcycle #ducatistreetfighter848 #ducatistreetfighterSunny Sunday, go for a ride or work on the bikes? Looking at the calendar, with a trip to Death Valley coming up on the second week of March, I better get the bikes ready! #790r #ktm790adventure #ktm790r #wr250r #yamahawr250r #motorcycles #rideyourbike #ridingRelated Blogs
