Nice!! Love the chrome tank option, but I bet Ohlins and Brembos are real nice too!

Oh yeah. This thing will stop in a hurry.

Thruxtons are a cool bike, I remember when they came out.
This one reminds me of my buddies Ducati chromo edition.

Are you doing Bluetooth? I’m going to and asking everyone I know that rides what they use.

D'Oh!

I just spoke to my buddy and it turns out he's a Triumph guy; the track bike and 2 road bikes are Triumphs.

Funny, when I said the other day that I love Triumphs, I was thinking of his bikes, but when I saw MrScratch's Ducati it immediately reminded me of them more than Craigs new beast so I figured I was wrong.

His Triumphs are 25 years old and look more-aerodynamic than Craig's, more like the Ducati.

Blue tooth for what?
I do not listen to music while on my bike if that is what you are asking..
the bikes are pretty loud already..

Communication between bikes, GPS directions, phone calls and yes music too.

no i don't have BT. most times a lot of sport bike guys ride with earplugs in. After a while wind noise and road noise gets tiring.

That rings a bell.

All 3 are IIRC from around the late '90s / early naughties.

What are you guys doing for cold weather pants? I had to ride to work on the coldest day day of the year, so far in southeast GA. 36 F before the 60 MPH wind factor. Truck a t dealership for recall. All of me was toasty with armored leather jacket with neck sock and heated gloves. My legs got a little chilly wearing my polyester cotton blend work pant. Nothing too bad in my 20 minute commute, but I want another layer without having to wear thermals all day long at work. Preferably like a easy on easy off leg wrap.

Like this, maybe.
