Me and My Ridley

My motorcycle is a 2004 Ridley Auto-glide 750. It is a nice ride. I am rebuilding - changing out the chain drive to a belt drive - after 2006, Ridley made all their bikes belt-driven. They wear better and seldom need adjustment. My bike is pretty as a picture, it is pearl white with purple flames, with a touch of turquoise. It has leather bags and can hold all your essentials. The bike has a five gallon gas tank, can go 300 miles before fill, gets 60 mpg. I have highway pegs, which makes riding very comfortable. I have about 11,000 miles on my bike.

Also, I have a Honda Reflex, 250 scooter. I keep that one at the cabin, thought about selling it, but it is just too much fun to sell. It is a little more work, keeping both bikes up to date, but worth the trouble.
