Two wheels is two wheels

OK, I’m a bit late this week, but work has been a zoo and I’m sneaking off a quick blog to you all during a short break during my week-long conference this morning. How’s that for dedication?

Last weekend produced two spectacular days of clear, sunny weather. This typically means I get very little done around the ole homestead with a garage full of sport bikes vying for my attention.

Saturday morning started off with a leisurely ride up to Ducati Indianapolis on the newest Italian steed in my stable; the Ducati 1098 R Bayliss LE. Wow, this amazing machine definitely tantalizes all the senses! Bill Carr always has the espresso machine warmed up and ready to greet the Saturday morning crew with steaming hot cups of espresso and tasty pastries.

After getting my caffeine and sugar levels up to snuff, I headed off to explore the far west-side of the Indianapolis metro area. As I wandered my way back to the south-side of town, I happened upon a friend’s place west of town. During this little break in my journey, a friend of Gary’s also dropped by with a very unique custom motorcycle.

One of the more interesting aspects of the motorcycle community is the vast array of machinery available to enthusiasts to satisfy every taste. The image of my Italian steed sitting next to this very special custom derivation of a Milwaukee classic presented the extremes of two-wheeled technology and design.

Sunday dawned bright and clear, but I successfully resisted the siren song coming from the garage. I ended up spending most of the day catching up on laundry, household chores and yard work. Darn, I wish all that green stuff growing in the yard would slow down a bit!

Well, the meeting is about ready to crank up again, so I’d better wrap this up and get back to the grind. I’ll see you all next week at www.redbullindianapolisgp.com
