Congrats!
You're not gong to miss the naked bike? Or did you find you just weren't riding it? Keeping the BV I hope? She's pretty in red |

I understand.
I sold my motorcycle last year. Honda NC700X.. After a while I had no good reason to ride it. Too big, bulky and very uncomfortable on the long rides I bought it for. I still have two running Vespa GTs that I ride every day. And I now have an XMAX for cross country jaunts. As for expanding the garage, it sounds like a great idea. Especially if you need more pots.

That is an awesome color!
Hopefully this one rounds out your stable nicely, but let us know how the construction project goes. At least you could get by with a pottery studio....I'd have to buy and entirely new house! |

Congrats JKJ. How you splitting the 150 responsibilities between Primavera nd Zuma?
Any outdoor structures that can be re-purposed? Left side was a playhouse, is now a pottery studio, right side used to be a garden shed, is now a she-shed.

Wow...congrats, JKJ. I think the fun-factor of that Primavera will chase away any lingering doubts regarding your choice.

I saw one that color in a showroom a week ago. If it is the same color, the paint has a subtle metalflake going on as well, that doesn't show up in these photos -- quite striking.
