Since this is becoming a transport focused forum, it's only fair to say that my old pal, Lukeya, isn't just keen on trains, he also likes bikes, and has a nice-as-you-like Norton Commando.
LL has a motorcycle too, a Ducati Diavel, which some believe to be only marginally slower than chain lightning.
Fredd also had a bike, the iconic Kawasaki 750 triple, and believes that riding it was a lot like having a timber wolf, for a pet.
"So," you ask, "Where's your motorcycle, so-called 'LSP,' if that's your real name, which we doubt."
That, readers, is a very good question.

erm, maybe stick to the actual, bona fide, one-horsepower horses? That's my vote anyway. You can ride those on terrain that's a little less deadly than I-35.
Good point -- must ride more. I've been pretty slack about that... good for mind, body and soul.
not to be a killjoy! wouldn't want to earn the scorn of all your blog readers. Ride on, however you wish.
ONE horsepower?
Look for a response in the Virtual Mirage Blog tomorrow.
I'd quite like an old Triumph, with a sidecar, obviously.
LSP - I see you on a Harley Davidson Knucklehead/rigid frame with a big busted blonde on the back of the ride -- headed for Sturgis.
I was offered a job in Sturgis, interestingly. Some time ago...
LL, I agree. ONE does seem a bit conservative.

A google search informs me that one horse is actually capable of 14.9 horsepower.
Ponder that.
But whatever, I hereby modify my recommendation of a one horsepower horse (which would have been a total deadbeat it seems) to a 14.9 horsepower horse.
:)
(And yes, I see that I've been scorned on LL's blog)
Nice photo shoot, Reverend. I love that Norton, and after my daredevil days on the Kawasaki, I toned my act down and bought a 1979 Triumph 750 Bonneville, brand new off the show room floor...it leaked oil from that day until I sold/partial traded it three years later for cash and a Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum (8" barrel).
Lukeya's Norton looks really good and I'm guessing he's put a lot of work into it.
I like the look of the old Triumph's too, though I understand they were "leakers"...
Do you still have the pistol?
My dad rebuilt a '68 or '69 Triumph, from a fire-burnt frame up, that he takes around the block once in a while. All black and shiny, with a Texas-shaped Union Jack hand-painted on the tank. Whenever he passes, I'm gonna have to learn to ride just two wheels again! (Tho I wouldn't mind a sidecar rig, to bring one of my dogs along in the monkey seat.)
Well researched, Jenny!
I like the idea of a Union Jack Texas logo very much, Mattexian. Sidecar seems neat, too.
Sold the .44 Magnum after only a year. It was really no fun to shoot, as I winced every time I pulled the trigger, that thing kicked like a mule.
