Anybody here the person who is having Hooligan Cycles sell their Eldorado and Griso motorcycles?

[scottmastrocinque]

But, Scott, if you got ONLY ONE MORE MOTORCYCLE, you could ride one for a month and ride a different one the next month, and the next month, and the next..., for a FULL YEAR, then start over. Surely you see the logic of this.

One a month? Ha! I ride 2 or 3 in the same day. It’s fun.

I’d rather have several gently used inexpensive motorcycles instead of some ridiculously overpriced new motorcycle.

I have an acquaintance who has more money in his 1 Harley Davidson than I do in my entire collection of 11!

He thinks I’m crazy. I know he is!

You could start a construction project to enlarge the garage (or keep one parked inside the trailer).

Have to keep the trailer empty as one never knows when the affliction will strike again!

You have to be ready to depart on a moments notice. Otherwise you cannot buy the best used stuff for the cheapest price!

I am sure he can park #11 AND the future #12 in the new trailer. Just saying...

I’m very fortunate and lucky because I’ve acquired these current motorcycles over 12 years. It’s been a very long process and there have been those which were sold and traded along the way. The last truly brand new motorcycle I bought was my Stelvio in 2012.

 

[GerryAZ]

Based upon your posts about the Stelvio, purchasing it new was the correct choice! Enjoy your retirement and all of your “toys”!

 

[scottmastrocinque]

Thank you very much. I wish everybody to have as much joy from motorcycles and motorcycling that I derive from it. Absolutely.

You guys crack me up.

We just put an offer on a property 29 miles from us in Lima, Ohio. This will be our home when we are in the USA. We will have our condo in Mandello del Lario as well. We intend to gift our current house in Findlay to our autistic sons. Our oldest and middle sons are going to have a friend or two come move in and house share with them once we move out.

This new property for just us 2 and our 3 huge dogs, is 9.3 acres in the country with woods, an 800 sq ft modern cabin with 2BR, 2 BA, Den, Loft, Basement Man Cave, modern heat and a/c, and it has a huge single car garage building as well as it has a 1600 sq ft. heated and cooled workshop that will be all mine. Plenty of space for everything including my machine tools (mill and lathe) and my new vapor hone which I bought just before retiring and closing my public workshop.

Now, I will build out the workshop of my dreams for myself. It is going to be unbelievably cool.

Bill Hagan has the Moto Grappa, now I will have to figure out the name of my new Man Cave!

All sorts of wildlife abound on this property and the surrounding area. I just adore it.

Really excited about this property. It is so peaceful and I just love everything about it, especially my Koi pond. So relaxing out there.

The workshop is going to be unbelievably awesome. I will be able to continue to work on my friends motorcycles for them but on my terms, on my property, when and if I feel like it. This retirement stuff is just so awesome. Loving it!

Now it seems, as explained to me by my best friend who has lived in the country for 40 years, I have to shop for a tractor! What fun. Never driven a tractor before...

WOW! I am jealous! It is ideal for you. The only drawback is all of the grass to mow, hence the need for a lawn tractor with a big mower.

Now you have a place for all of your tools/equipment and bikes to stay here. That should give you justification to purchase new tools and bikes for Italy!

Holly smokes!!!
As a carpenter I'm having a stiffy atm...

I would love to pimp that Guzzi tractor Pete posted....

Well, the final chapter in this saga of mental instability…. 2016 BMW HP2 Enduro. 9k original miles. Always lusted after one of these. No time like the present because I won’t live forever, right?

Shipping in from Utah. Ok, I’m done. Truly. Done.

I’d like to see a picture of the group once they’re assembled

I’d like to see a picture of the group once they’re assembled

Just don't line them up side by side too close together. I read on a forum of a guy who did this. The first bike in the line fell over and the rest fell like dominoes. Very sad indeed.

 

[scottmastrocinque]

I will do that when the BMW gets delivered. Will be quite the photo.

Hopefully, I will take in in the workshop at the cabin property .

Honestly, since retiring and my giant vascular surgery to give me back my left arm, I wake up every morning saying “Somebody pinch me! I must be dreaming!”

Thank you God for the blessings in my life. Truly.

 

[Nordicnorm]

You'll need a wide angle lens for those pictures
And yes, clawhammer it is.
