Late Father’s Day gathering of my clan…went for a blat with the eldest son…yes I let him take Larry…he loves it…the little bloke is the new addition to our family. Grandchild number 6. He was sitting with dad and it was running. No fear that little dude.
Nice ride out around Mt Mee…👍😎

Construction repair work on the apartment building I live in (needed due to the 40 plus year old apartment building I live in having its drainage tiles fail, causing the foundation to shift, and the basement walls start to buckle [I park my FTR1200 in the basement parking lot]) was FINALLY completed enough, that the basement parking lot was reopened on Friday. My FTR was delivered from storage yesterday (it's a good thing I had it stored, the severe weather we had [complete with tornado warnings] during the time my FTR was in storage, would not have been a good thing to expose it to, even with a motorcycle cover on it). It's getting chilly in the morning, making my customary morning work commute a BRRRRRRR!! proposition at 75-85 mph (121-137 kph) on I-94, due to my FTR being unfaired (my legs get cold!). It's borderline temperature-wise (about 57F [14C]), but I'm going to give it the old college try. Luckily temps will be much warmer for the ride home.

Nobody will ever know how close I came to buying an MV Agusta Brutale Dragster Euro5 today and yes it comes with 17" Kineo spoked wheels as standard. Closest call yet but will wait to see the Bronx if it comes? Glad to put some distance between me and the dealership after a hearty breakfast there.
Total of 180 miles today.

The MV is one of the most beautiful packaged motorcycles in my eye and akin to a fine piece of art, 800cc 140BHP and some nice tricks/gizmos up it's sleeve, it is also being offered with a lifetime warranty. Nevertheless to retain this warranty there is a regular clutch service to consider as well as the routine ones. The mileage I do we are talking ballpark USD $1500 per year servicing costs alone and the FTR would have to go! I will still wait to see what's around the corner. Small matter but it only comes in two colors light grey and dark grey both denim which doesn't do the bike justice.

Agree - these bikes are superb.
I was lucky enough to be at the Australian launch a couple of years ago.

My favourite has been the Mv F4..😜..
Guys if we are talkin exotics, we can’t ignore what Bimota has bought out over the years..
Using white power suspension, mazzochi, Marchesini wheels, custom frames. All hand made goodness, married into the best power plants around.
Salute!

'Affordable exotics.' The MV falls into that category for me Bimota certainly doesn't unfortunately.
