Thank you! d750 with a 70-200.. which mostly lives in its bag tucked in a closet.

Fuji system has taken over for everything but staged shots, so much easier to have everything come out of camera the way I want vs. shooting raw and editing.

I know not love for Harley’s here, but I really enjoy cruising around on country roads with it on a nice day.

For what they are, Harleys are good bikes.

They're just not my style. I like to go, stop, and turn, not just putter around

Funny — I’m pretty sure I saw this bike on Mission this afternoon in SoPas. I noted the bike when it went past as you don’t see nearly as many airheads down here as you do in the Bay Area and then I just saw it again in this thread.

That was me. Born and Raised in Altadena/Pasadena and living in South Pasadena. I love this bike! It's really the best LA city cruiser.

If my Vespa GTS300 is my townie bike, and my KTM 690 is my gravel bike, I guess you could consider this my new mountain bike. It is a Beta Xtrainer 300cc 2-stroke. It is barely street legal, so I will be able to connect trails without getting a ticket. I can't wait to get this one all muddy.
