These are my current bikes. I am selling both though and will likely get out of the street bike game all together. Dirt is where my love for bikes is and street is just a little risky for me and my wanting to be a good father for a while longer.




Here are my last two bikes before and during my current two. Having the 06 SV650 and 06 Z1000 was awesome. SV is a truly do-it-all, ___ kicking bike. The Z1000 is also a tremendous bike but lacks that v-twin sex appeal of the SV.

The Honda was sold after about 8 hours due to two injuries resulting in the fourth knee surgery on my left side.

The Yamaha has about 5 hours on it and will be replaced with another 450. They have seen dirt, just not very much. Also, I am an avid power washer and peel my bikes apart to clean them often.

Early bikes (scooters) you have are MODS, later bikes are ROCKERS; so are you a ROCKER or a MOD? By your age, it looks like you weren't even alive during the MOD age; but anybody who runs a bike shop is OK in my book. Do you own the movie Quadrophenia; if not, get it immediately. By simply owning an xB, I put you in the MOD category (a great compliment I might add).

When it comes to bikes, Ducati's are the ultimate cross between MOD kool, and superbike performance; add one to your list of what you ride, you won't regret it. If you want to combine the MOD/ROCKER fantasy, get a Ducati 650 Pantah from the early 1980's.
