We'll need to wait for MB to get confirmation or correction, but it looks like a BMW Enduro to me.

Alf lives in that blue box? Odd, I would have figured he would have lived in a bigger, somewhat fancier house actually . . . . . .

That's just his lunch box!  Us UPS guys deliver anything  ;)

It was 62 degrees when we unloaded the bikes at that Cracker Barrel in Marrietta, GA!  We left the wives to drive the Tahoe and pull the trailer through Atlanta - BIG MISTAKE, and we cruised in the sunshine  ;D

to call chaps assless is redundant.

if chaps had the buttock-al region covered they'd be....well...they'd be leather pants.

Speaking of motorcycles.

I've been researching some different models lately, since it's free, and I've found some really cool bikes out there.  I'd love to have any of them and so many more, but I can't even afford a helmet.

Moto Guzzi V7 Racer:

Royal Enfield C5 Military:

Triumph Steve McQueen SE:

The Enfield C5 was my brothers X-Mass bonus back in 2010 from his boss!  He did have to assemble it though!

It's his second RE, he bought one back in 2006 as well.  He loves them but unlike his little brother (me) he weighs about 140 lbs soaking wet.  I had to buy something a bit bigger for myself.  I opted for the Triumph America..

I still love those Sportsters but I make them look like a moped when I'm sitting on one!  They handle really well because their light and have a short wheelbase.  Not a long distance runner but for the back woods turny stuff their a hoot!

Been riding a Ducati 696 for the better part of the year, absolutely blows any other bike I have ever ridden out of the water.

Had a Shadow Sabre 1100, A Ninja 500, but before I bought my duc I rode just about everything the dealer had. Can't beat superior handling and a great service package.

That's been the law here as long as I can remember and guess what?  No one gives a crap!

In town, during Bike Week in Laconia, they might bother but for the most part, I'd put money on it goes nowhere!

Laconia isn't one of them.
At least not yet.
It's all down on the Sea Coast.
By the way Tim, If you're going up to Kittery Trading Post stay on the high way, don't try to go through Portsmouth, they removed the middle span of the Memorial bridge last week and are starting to tear down the rest of it.
