Ready for the 2016 season …

We just need the temperature to be permanent above 0 degrees Celsius to stop the salting of the roads !

The bike in the middle is my wife’s brand new KTM Duke 200. She is taking up riding bikes again after 15 years absence 🙂

Gilera 500 Saturno …

The red Gilera Saturno is already ultra rare, but today I learned that a black version exists.
Only 12 black Saturno’s was made back in the 80’ies – so this is a very very rare bike.
And a real beauty !

Zero electric motorcycle …

I was offered a test ride on a Zero, and what an experience 🙂
Lots of torque and almost no sound at all. A really strange experience to twist the throttle on a silent bike and shoot forward with a slight whizzzzzz 🙂
Roads was partly damp after a shower, and sports mode made the skinny rear tyre slip and skid all over the place. Part of the problem is most likely that the amount of torque is unexpected high on a small light bike like this.
Overall finish is good, but brakes and rear suspension is not top of the class.
