I came across one last year at Barbers for sale, VERY tempting. I walked past it multiple times. Just could not figure out how to bring it back home under my arm.

Is the RT gone??

Hey Jeff, How's it going? I still have the RT, probably going to keep it another year.

How's the Capo?

Thanks Everybody... This thing is a ton of fun.

Ordered 606s for it last nite, and adjusting to make it fit me.

Fyr, did you get your dirt brakes? I saw they were backordered.

NjJeff, let me know if you find them.

Sallydog, see ya at Chet's

Yellow, nice to be out again.

Boy, NJ has everything: even a Citroen speciality shop!

Hard to beleive, but Citroen sold almost 4 million 2CVs and amost 1.5 million DSs.

They even do Citroen H Vans- something I don't ever remember seeing

MoBill · 07-31-2012, 10:51 AM

That's cool as hell.

Big Rallye car presence.

Almost the only thing worth watching on Speed...while it was on...

DougZ73 · 07-31-2012, 11:42 AM

Tell you what, I am happy to be a motorcyclist. As I tell people, I don't drink( much

), I don't smoke, and I don't do drugs or whore around. Motorcycles are my passion and my vice. If I am riding, I am happy.

Having three solid choices in the stable right now..a dedicated woods bike, a solid go anywhere dual sport, and a great sport/ sport tourer bike......I am pretty happy when I have time to get on one of them.

Work always sucks, always a ton of things to do around house, maintenance on cars, etc......always something that I need to work on. Its good to break away and get out on two wheels.

And when not riding and having a 1000 other things to do, I am watching, when I can, two wheels racing or related things. Two Wheeled Tuesday( that was a great show....I don't care what anyone says), MotoGP, AMA racing, WSBK, SX/MX...Cafe Racer. etc.

OK, blathering over.

This is cool fellas. The Port Authority has just released this animated video on how they will raise the Bayonne bridge. Incredible engineering. I cant believe it will work !

Very cool.

Very cool indeed.

Semi funny Bayonne Bridge story-- my wife's grandmother remembered that as part of the pre-build approval process, SI & Jersey residents were assured that the toll would be rescinded when the bridge bond was paid- which was expected to take just a few years. Riiiiight.

But I'm a little concerned about them doing all that and depending on the existing arch to hold the new roadbed.

The last time I stopped on that bridge, it vibrated every time a car or truck came by. Pretty violently. And the structure is badly rusted out:

Stopped to take a picture of the windmill in the distance, and the vibration gadget on the I-phone had trouble taking a picture!
