    That's a Claymore; a two-handed sword from Scotland. I need it to keep that pesky navigator in line. She misguided us to Elean Dunnun Castle here. Great roads in Scotland. My favorite actually; for a car, or bike.

    Being 25% Scottish and 25% English, married to a 50% Irish girl the UK is on my bucket list. I really dig the 1911. I'll have one of those and a Claymore while I'm at it.

    That 11' is insane! Do you ever ride it?

    Sure, I've ridden at a few of the functions. We have pre-'16 rides for bikes made before 1916 (which is when the 3 speed transmission was pretty much used by the big 3 manufactures of the time, allowing so-called "modern use" of this era bike). The '11 has 1000cc engine, and cooks along at 60mph! It handles quite well too! This one is a single speed, meaning that there is no transmission; one slips the clutch to take off, and pedals to assist the engine. This is the first year that a clutch was offered as standard equipment also! Early bikes had no clutch! One just ran with the bike, and jumped on! Killing the bike to come to a stop. Of course, there wasn't that much traffic then, and gas was purchased at the drug store in glass jars!
    I've actually just consigned the '11 to the up-coming Bonhams Auction at the Quail Lodge in a few weeks. I need more space for Maserati stuff! I still have my '14 for early cruzing though!

    Sorry. Wrong 999 photo. That one is an R, not an RS. This is an RS (with an R front end). Confused? I am.

    In that case...

    I also have a 2001 Vespa ET4 that has more mods done to it than I think anyone has ever done.

    Cigarette lighter (I don't smoke)
    Series of buttons that control: garage door opener, yellow spot lamps, white spot lamps
    Airhorn
    Turn signal "beepers" to remind me to turn them off
    12v adapter plug that doubles as a port to plug in the battery tender.
    Um...
    More stuff...
    I forget now...

    A mid-50s Triumph twin, probably a 650 (T110).
