Please bear with this Luddite, I'm loading pics from the fone, I'll comment from the real keyboard.

Ok, So I've been a sane and responsible person most of my life. Peddled many a mile as a younger man, including commuting year round (in North Georgia, so, no not Syracuse, but not Key West either). Motorcycles always appealed, but I never felt motorcycles and dependents mixed well.

In '18 the equation worked out and I got my foist motorized bike.

I wanted to just ease into it, see if it was for me. I started with a Ducati Monster 821. What a hoot. You can carry one short sleeved shirt in the 'cargo' space under the seat. That's it. Handle bars, foot pegs, and a seat. Other than moving the mirrors to the bar ends so I could see behind me, and not just my elbows, the only thing I added to this was the best thing any motorcycle can have, and that's something pretty riding pillion.

A few years have passed and I'm getting older and slower. Hips hurt after an hour or two. (btw, you sit the Monster upright. Shoulders, hips, and feet are in a vertical line. You are not crouched over.) An old man's cruiser was the solution. I just could not bring myself to join the dark side and get a potato potato bike, and I find I really like overpriced maintenance costs, So I just picked up another Ducati. This time a Diavel 1260S. With the wife and I on, it weighs under 850 lbs, 155ish hp, 95ish torqueies. It is enough to get an old man and his lady down the street.

Ever since I was a punk kid of 12 or so I have loved to sail. If you are in a hurry, don't take a sailboat. If you are trying to get away from the hurry, take a sailboat. It still amazes me just how fun and exhilarating 8mph can be.

This is a '79 Seidelmann 299. Designed by sail makers and racers it is a neat boat. There is not a cup holder on the thing. The set up below deck is pretty '70's frugal, but the rigging is meant to sail.

intersting note: if you let out the clutch in first gear at idle on the motorbikes, they go 9 mph. The sailboat tops out at about 9mph. I must be hooked on the lean.

Although I have had and loved Jeeps since I was a teenager, I do have a soft spot for Xterra's. I worked for a Nissan dealer for over twenty years and grew quite an appreciation for them. I have had an older Xterra Pro4X for years that I keep around and my son drives it. Since this picture was taken, I upgraded to a little bigger All Terrain T/A, I am limited on tire size because the wheels are only 7" wide but I really like the look of them (they are take offs from a 2016 Frontier Pro4X that was lifted and bigger tires and wheels added) and not willing to change them. It looks much better with the bigger more aggressive tread tires though. I wish I had pictures of that, maybe will post some when I have them.

I also have a 71 Mach 1 that my sons and I are in the middle of doing a frame off restoration on. We bought it out in Las Vegas about two years ago. We have gotten some progress done so far and probably another year before we will get it done. It is taking some time because we are doing all of the work ourselves in the garage at home. The mechanical is all done with all new suspension, steering, and brakes, electrical is all redone and the engine, transmission and differential have all been rebuilt. We have finished all the sheet metal work and body work and it is about ready for paint once temperatures get a little warmer in April here in Chicago. I am hoping to paint it and glass installed so we can at least drive it this summer. And then re-do interior when the budget allows.

Very cool. I never thought I would get caught dead riding a scooter, but after restoring a 1965 50cc Vespa for my wife, I, realized wrenching on them and bopping around on them is actually kinda fun. After the wife got hers, which she loved, she then started bugging me to get one and ride with her. "No way," I said, "I'll look like Shrek on one of those things." Nevertheless, I found a '79 P200 basket case, and built it up into a restomod. She flies and sounds like a YZ250 when I fire her up.

Thanks. I don't remember who built that pipe. Put a bigger carb on it, ie the carb that came on the P200s sold in the European market, and otherwise just a basic rebuild of the engine (200cc 2-stroke). I also have a '72 Sprint Veloce 150 that I've got all apart right now. My Jeep War Pig build is sadly leaving no remaining time for my other projects, like finishing this Veloce.
