Being a motorcycle enthusiast I like looking at lots of different bikes. I would feel the same if I saw nothing but 600 sportbikes, or all CB 1100s for that matter. Imagine seeing nothing but CB 1100s week after week, 5, 10, 20 together in packs, year after year, and then a solo Harley rolls by. I would be excited as all get out, to see it.
I was glad inhouse bob' s buddy jim, rode a KTM to the rally. I never see KTMs on the road.it was cool seeing one.
And that was VLJ's point, wasn't it?
Monocultures are seldom good, so it's a pity not to see a greater variety of bikes. Around here you never know quite what you'll see. At the weekend, on the runs near the city, one will see all sorts of bikes from sports bike to cruisers. Further out, there's lots of Harleys, but also ADV bikes and the odd sports bike. We must be lucky.

Was Jim's bike a KTM 1290? They're impressive beasts.
