Vincent Black Shadow for me....If I were a rich man....
And really the alarm was the right call. It was embarrassing for him, lesson learned.
I don't carry when I am going to go for a drink. Honestly, hope I never have to pull my weapon for a defensive reason.


HA! Poser.

I used to work across the industrial park at a Ural importer/assembler in '96-'98 timeframe. Still going after 20+ years they must be doing something right.

If I was a rich man and biker, I'd go for Keanu Reeve's bikes - Arch.

I haven't had the lucky scenario of kids trying to be rich IG kids. The minimum would be the panic button. At worst, the very worst, the opportunity to have the unpleasant sensation of what 115g of copper feels like travelling at 784mph and striking a $20 meat sack.

That seems a little unhinged. No need to murder someone.
Who said anything about murder? Joe Biden says we can shoot people in the hands or knees.

Tree farmer now. Retired first responder.
I really like the Ural 2wd motorcycle with sidecar too. Would probably own one, if not for the speed limitations.

Built pretty much the same since the Russians copied the German sidecar from WWII.

I think a whole Russian town is built around the manufacturing plant.

Not with the Gladiator, now my Ural, that's a hole different story.
On more than one occasion I’ve had to berate someone from climbing into the hack for a photo op without asking. Unbelievable!

That's before transponder keys, so if it opened the door, I bet it would have (assuming ignition was keyed alike).
Back in the 90's I got in my work F350 started it made a stop and discovered that my key was in the switch not the company key.

I was at the car dealer with the gator topless and with the half doors and windows out. While getting my paperwork ready, the sales people came out and started taking pics of the car. I went out and asked if I would get commission. Haha!!

One of the questions asked after a defensive shoot is "Was there alcohol involved". Exactly why I do not imbibe while carrying. Ditto on the Vincent. Closest I get is my 74 Norton Commando. You would cry for days if I told you the cost(less than 1k, late 80's) and it was a runner, complete with a lot of spares.

100%. Agree.

My buddy pretended it was a his in a few conversations when I let him drive it lol. He loves cars so I let him have it. It was funny because every now and then I'd have to pipe up a bit to add some info for him about it.

I recently started catching people taking pictures of mine. Have had someone stop 4 cars back at a light to get a picture.

Went out for a drink and had the top and doors off. Sat where I could keep an eye on my Jeep.
Millenial kid came along and started hanging around my Jeep, then leaning on it and sitting on it like it was his as he engaged passers by in conversation.
So I set off my car alarm. :clap:
Yep...had mine for less than a week...had it naked with trail doors and teenagers on two different occasions did the same thing on the same day. Funny thing is my Jeep probably made it to IG and I don't even have an account ?
