With my dad having 6 bikes, I don't find the need to buy my own. I ride his 2004 MV Agusta Brutale S. It's a bad ass 750, but I can't stand riding it for more then 75 miles at a time. It also gets the worst gas mileage I have ever seen (lucky to get 20 mpg). No picture of it, but this is exactly what it looks like.

Here is the newest toy:

I have not had time to get it licensed yet (or the weather that will be decent for it) so I have no gear yet.

Mods, it has a slip on and some sort of after market bar ends and pegs. Oh, and it has the previous owner broke key off in iginition so I can start it with a kitchen knife mod as well :)

Yea, it's horrible... even with trying to preserve gas and keep it low in the rpms. It doesn't care how you ride it... same gas mileage. When my rents are on their BMW's, I have to stop to get gas two times to every one of their tanks of gas.

My old man is looking to get a new Ducati 1098 or another MV Agusta. Ducati's are badass. He has a 2007 Ducati Monster S4R with some CF clip on's and the stock mufflers gutted. The thing sounds incredible and has TONS of power.

I'll take some pics tonight. One pair of boots are HD style, look like normal boots with a zipper on the side and laces in the front. VERY comfortable to walk in, I wore these all day at work. Also used these when I rode to the store. These are black.. will have to verify size. Other pair is racing style. Dominantly red with some black and grey. Will also have to verify size (and I am drawing a blank on the name.. man I suck today).

Pants are reinforced Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0 with full side zipper and knee armor. I pulled these over jeans or with just underarmor underneath it.

Send me a PM or something with the size on the racing style boots and the pants and what you want for 'em. I might be interested in one or the other :)
