The R18 is a work of art, but lags a distant 2nd to God’s artistry (the babe).

Not sure about that.... after a brief ride my R18 is sitting quietly down in the garage, not asking for anything, no complaining, no R5's or R32's dropping by needing something (ie elderly relatives), no need to have 27 pairs of tyres in the garage and if I sell it some day it won't take 1/2 the house and my savings* with it.....

Off course, back in my 20's/30's things were not this self evident.

*note: assuming I wasn't silly enough to spend 1/2 my savings on modifying it.

You're a fortunate man, TodkaVonic.
Back when I was 16 years old, my first "car" was a Bridgestone 100cc two stroke motorcycle. (The four wheeled car came later) My 14 year old girlfriend rode pillion. She has never wanted to be the one directly behind the handlebar.
Fast forward (never was a truer cliche applied!) to 2021. I'm 65, she's 63, we're now retired and living in Tennessee, having left NY behind (hallelujah!). And she's still riding pillion behind me.
My contributions are quite tame because I save the best for myself.

She sat on the Bridgestone, but would not operate it.

Love the V Star 1900, now that is one bike that really does need reverse.

Hey that’s my bike! Seriously, the anniversary edition of the R18 is a beautiful thing…..and so is the direct object of that pic.
