So, its my big midlife birthday this year. After December, Ill need viagra and a walker...so I figured I would give myself a new mistress.
After helping our very own George build his, I knew I wanted to add one to the stable... I had visions of building one from scratch, and then I met a fella online that shared my vision.
Now its time to name her. "Trouble" or "Mistress", perhaps? She has been well cared for, ridden well and even in the pages of Motorcyclist magazine Feb 2009, Alpina Wheels Catalog, 2009 Rev-it catalog. Just as a good mistress should be...
