Not the best photo, but it's a Ducati Multistrada. Really liked how it handled, but of course not getting a new bike for the foreseeable future.

Good evening, guys!

Had a good day today. Got my bike out for it's first run of the season. She's no Ducati, but she runs great and is paid for.

Good morning fellas.
Yesterday was Dar's birthday. A rather somber day, but we spent most of it together and took care of a few odds and ends up in Isanti, then went out for dinner in Faribault to the Perkins. Nice day for a long drive.

Good morning, everyone!

Hope Dar had the best day she could given the circumstances. If you need a hand with anything up this direction, let me know.
