It's a Triumph 500cc I forget the model name. Very cool, I had a 70 500 Daytona.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

That is my late grandfathers Tiger. He raced flat track, tt and hill climbed on it. This pic was taken at the ShortyBarr memorial race. (Shorty Barr being my grandfather) My uncle drove it in a night time enduro that night after the races.

Another pic of it.

Today "Scan" and I had our first rides for 2008. It was crazy-warm here today... lower 60's!! Kids were in school, so we went for a nice spin around the area.

Cheers,
Loonette

Thank you. The weather here is too unpredictable this time of year, so I won't insure my bike yet. It snowed here this morning.

Maybe in a month I might be able to insure it and then go out on the road and start honing my skills again.

I don't know wrider, if he keeps shooting those moose with $20k bullets he might get to feeling worse. :laughing:

Good thing he insures those bullets.
