A little game of Moto-Tag! (9/21/08)

So, the crew over at ST-Owners.com have had some games of "Tag, You're it!" going on and today I decided it was my turn to play.

The concept: Find the location of the last picture posted, ride to the location, take a picture of your bike in front of it. Then all you have to do is shoot a photo of your bike in another location and post both pictures before someone else does. Simple.

The last location was Stonewall Mine in Julian (HWY 79). It's a great little place for a hidden tag. I'd never been to it until today:




My buddy (and neighbor) Ryan tagged along (no pun) on his Harley:



After the first tag was bagged, we shot into Julian for a bite to eat:







We swapped bikes for about 30 miles. It was a nice change and my first experience riding a Harley. I have to say, I liked it!





Final tag point.....Good Luck!

OCC: "American Hondas" - Part 2

Well, I finally got the bikes delivered and they barely fit in my 1 car garage.

As much as I would like to keep these (And yes, they are as nice as the original pictures), I have decided to "flip them". Realistically, I just don't have the space in my garage to keep *5* bikes.

Every time I need to prep one of my touring bikes for a trip, I'm going to have to move the classics out of the way and risk damaging them. It's obvious I need a bigger house...well...not house... I like my condo...maybe a two bedroom 4 car garage....? But I digress.... :)

An interesting note: When the shipper (the owner and driver of the shipping company) arrived with the bikes, he immediately commented that everyone that saw them thought I had made an exceptionally good deal (also considering who the previous owner is - Paul Teutul Sr!). His exact remarks..."They are beautiful. Contact me if you ever want to sell them because I have some people that would be really interested."

So I shot John a call last week and let him know my decision. He said he'll shop them around. I've also decided to list these as a pair on ebay, using the original photos from the ad. Probably not the smartest decision as it won't maximize any profit, but it's not about the profit in this case. These are exceptional bikes and they just aren't going to fit in my life right now.

I have a cool story to go with this and that's enough. :)

Let the bidding commence.
