and as we go to leave, Lors comes out for a look see at Jimi's Ducati Monster 900 dark...earlier in the discuss he talked of taking a similar bike and doing a one off with it...though one would have a hard time getting Jimi to agree to such an endeavor with her ride, she did appreciate the eye upon the assembled scoot...

and so ended the first ride o the new season, albeit one filled with icicle cold air...none the less it beats sitting at home and watching paint peel because the weatherman cautions the outside temps...

a well placed thanks to the Jailhouse Chopper lads for letting in a couple of ESSCAPErs to their den of equity... superb ending to a great ride indeed...
