    Sorry to hear about your father. He had excellent taste.

    My old Monster (post #1593) was sold today. As there are so many value threads here, I computed the depreciation adjusted for money inflation - and in 14 years, it only lost 51% of its initial value (adjusted for inflation). Actually, I was initially considering to keep it, assuming it would have lost almost all its value; but after a little digging I discovered it wasn't worthless so decided to sell it. It could probably even sell for a little more next Spring...
    Anyway, that's just an occasion to post another picture of my new bike :p

    I loved my Monster, which was a bit older than yours. Fantastic bike for riding around the city, but I found out I like to tour, and it's not so great for that.

    I just bought a 2024 Supersport, which is basically a Monster with a fairing and surprisingly capable bags. If only it had cruise control!

    Could always just use a vise grip. ;)

    Or an aftermarket throttle lock. :p

    I have been considering a throttle lock... I also need one for my Triumph Sprint.

    47 and sunny. Good enough for me to hop on. Got it nice and dirty lol. Swapped the rear fender and all the large chromed-plastic incandescent lighting front and rear for a Motone tail tidy, their GORT light and Pico 3-in-1 LEDs out back, with Motogadget pins on the front and atop the shocks. Because I acknowledge I'm in Maryland for another 6 months or thereabouts, and a little extra visibility (even with a decat) isn't a bad thing. ;)

    Still a tidge on the fence with the flyscreen. Maybe I'll keep it around if I know I'm going up to Gettysburg or another longer trip, but keep it off the bike for just little jonts....

    Here's my '46 Indian Chief during a Road Run in South Dakota. It's been stroked to 80"s, and has all the long distance touring tricks; including the rubber chicken dragging up the rear. It's a great bike, but I don't tour much anymore, so I will let her to.

    Chilly one today, but far warmer than it's been and warm enough for sustained highway-ish speeds. into the 50s by Wednesday; may even take the Vespa to PT tomorrow. ;)

    Update. Threw on a black exhaust and added Motone Saturn V mufflers. With the decat and removal of db killers it is absolutely spectacular on decel and goosing it for underpasses.
