Attended Euro bike night at a local pub this evening with Tiger1050 and some friends from other local forums. Bunch of cool bikes on hand, heavy on the Ducatis, several Triumphs and BMW's, two MV Brutales, couple of Moto Guzzi's, a Buell 1125R and a few Japanese bikes. My buddy Nathan rode in on a Honda 599 since he had his truck this trip, made in Italy so it qualified. Two other Speed Triples showed up. Mine is the one with the racing stripe. The other white one belongs to the Regional Director for Triumph who is a really cool guy!
Check out the front end on the silver Guzzi Brevia in the last pic, then look at the 599....custom!

Lotta nice bikes there, and the lower triple clamp on the Brutale still makes my wanna drop my drawers and![]()
Go ahead. Nothing's stopping you!
So talking to the Regional Director for Triumph, I tell him about my accident and how well my Triumph Hawk jacket help up in my wreck and he tells me he would like to have it. After asking why, he said he would like to showcase how well the Triumph branded gear holds up. He then says that he would make it worth it for me by giving me a brand new Triumph Jacket! Now I just have to choose which one. I'm leaning toward the Triumph Cobra Mesh jacket as my Scorpion is a bit warm in this 90 degree heat.

Am I a sick person because I think the old preying mantis wierdo Tigers are kinda cool?
I need help.
I will never forget you, although I try very much to do so on a daily basis.
My psychiatrist recommends medication. I'm not sure to which one of us he's referring to.
Wait, I think someone just farted in my pants.

The Honda 599 was built in Italy. Thus, the owner considers it European.![]()
