steveb leatherworks: the blather

MV Agusta, in all reality are the ultimate shit in many regards when considering a hi-style, hi-tone son of a bitch race bike that can handle the streets… Aprilla an Ducati are two more, but I am not thinking of them at this moment… And ya know, I can’t say with any degree of honesty that I am interested in riding an MV, or could even push one past 1/8 of its limit – but i am all over the design and purity of purpose.

There is something cool about a machine that is so focussed on its mission in life that it simply forsakes all other considerations. A race car presents one of those environments to its driver, because in all reality, the driver is an after thought…it is ALL about the machine. think about a race car…..almost purposely hostile in its sonic volume, rattle & shake, intensity of experience and overall stimuli..its a place people were never designed to go…or thrive in for that matter… but some badasses do… and that is cool.

So, I wonder if the weekend warrior that hangs his coat on this stinker has pushed it to lets say…1/3 its limit… hmm, i dunno.. you have to be on point if youre going to get ahead of this machine. I am also digging the ancient, first generation Gold Wing in the background… that too is a cool machine!
