We have a lot of Honda 1800, 1300, and shadow owners on the forum. I'd keep those. But Suz, Kaw, Yam, and now Triumph probably ought to just be by mfg.

I posted this pick on the Rocket 111 Forum, and there was some conjecture as wether it was a CT or MCT. Looks like a Darksider to me, and he looks as if he is having a great time.
