post a *PIC* of your latest purchase (can be anything as long as you purchased it)

[KooLaid]

Welcome home. Not the bike I originally tried to buy since it was sold out from under me while I was getting my paperwork in line but my tied for #2 pick.

 

[Holeshot]

1290?

New AC and Furnace (not pictured)

I'd prefer to show a new car or moto, but this took it's place.

1290?

Yes, 2020 Super Duke 1290r. I kept running in to issues trying to buy the 2019 MV Dragster RC. First the shop in the Carolinas and then Euro Cycle in Las Vegas when I found another 2019 Dragster RC. The one in Vegas got sold out from under me and the very next day I found the exact bike I wanted as my #2 pick for a great price and the shop (Soso Cycles aka BMW Motorcycles of Concord) was AMAZING to work with. Great folks there. While I kept running into CONSTANT barriers with the MV, the Super Duke purchase just kept working out in my favor every little single step of the way.

I didn't buy it, it's a gift from my wife, but I'm not sure what to think

A pasta extruder. I’m waiting on my selected dies to arrive.

That rules! One of the guys I race against has a 2021 and it's a beast...especially the torque against a 600. He's done some pretty custom stuff on rear linkages, etc for setup.

Interestingly, I found a near pristine example of my very first street bike ever two weeks ago: A 1994 Honda CBR 600F2 in Ohio. I got lucky cause I had a truck going back there from CA to PA and going right through Columbus. Didn't negotiate, just paid the seller what he wanted outright. 6,027 original miles, original owner bought when he turned 15. My bike was the exact same scheme. Pretty excited on this one...!!! So now I'll have two F2's when my 91' gets done with a few restoration items.

saw it at a gay rage sale while out on an MC ride Saturday, guy said he picked it up in the Castro.

Congrats.

If I found an example of my first bike, (Euro CB50), I'd buy it as well but not even sure they were sold here.

Thanks Geoff! That's a Honda? What year?

I was up late one night browsing the internet and somehow I bought something that makes these kinds of images.

Can make video and overlay visual image.

Anybody need any thermal imagery? I need to recoup some lost dollars.

Looked a bit like this.

I do but think the postage back and forth may cost too much....

I honestly hope you didn't pay $1k for that lid? Jesus....

Nope.

But it was a bit pricey. ;-)

 

[Sharxfan]

Ohh very nice lid. Do they still offer the transition lenses for Bell helmets. I loved mine when I was riding.
