  1. Better than most any 'calendar' shots!

    Nicely titled. A beautifully organized photo with great but subtle color variables. The gray gravel appears a bit mauve. I find the windscreen especially showing a cast of complementary color. Even the body work as a focal point shares the tone.

    Rather extraordinary, indeed.

    Very glad to see an exceptional picture on this site. Thanks, R3~

  2. My basement is never gonna be that pretty, butt. It is 30' x 62' long, W/8' wide French doors to the garden. If I can convince a well focussed motorcyclist to move in next door i'd put 2 holes through the separating wall and we'd run Pocket bike races all winter.

    Good fortune to you Annie. May the riding season be worth the long wait. R3~

  3. You have reminded me that I've always wanted to visit the Naval Air Museum. I learned ~30 years ago there is/was a W. Starling Burgess design/built amphibious biplane on display. The only one to survive, from very early 1900's. It was built in Marblehead MA; also the Burgess-Dunne Hydro-Aeroplane. Burgess, a sailing vessel designer pioneered amphibian aircraft as did Glenn Curtiss and others. If interested search his name and relations with R. Buckminster Fuller.

    Thank you posting a great picture with a really good looking VFR.

    Good fortune, R3~

    That is one sweet looking motorbike. Congratulations on a great design and execution. I love white wheels. did them to a black pearl bike I had. Ride safe.

    Good fortune, R3~

  4. Bjorn, Thank you for sharing your interests and experiences. you and your friends will have a wonderful time riding.

    May I suggest a visit to the Moto Guzzi plant? Their original and still their main manufacturing facility is in Mandello, Italy. Near to the southern tip of Lake Como. The Moto Guzzi museum is wonderful. Nearly every model is represented since 1911. Many race winners and the Guzzi V8 racer. Of course the Guzzi Stelvio is named after the Stelvio pass. The Norge is named after the winter trip to Norway on a Guzzi in 1921(?). I have a VFR, but also 3 Moto Guzzi's. Guzzi owners are much like VFR owners. Terrific people where ever you find them. Good fortune to you and your fellow travellers. R~

  5. I love those white wheels! Great looking bike. I can't get used to tail boxes that ride so high. Can you feel the difference when it is loaded, even a little? As opposed to empty. Congratulations on a terrific job.

    Good fortune, B~

    That is a great color, Toro1. And a 'safe' color, too. I'm just an old scratcher, but have been 'left turned' 'U-turned', broad sided and backed over. I can attest to orange being the safest color. I'm tempted to paint the rest of my bikes orange; especially upon seeing what a great choice of shade/tone and depth you made.

    You DO have front turn signals, no? I can't make them out. Good fortune, B~
