  • The Ducati motorcycle dealer in Escondido, California is of Swiss nationality.  His father in Italy has an extensive collection of antique and vintage motorcycles a few of which he'd sent  over to be sold at auction in Las Vegas.  For a few days however, they were stored in a private area of the shop.  And I was there with my camera.

  • Those who choose to travel by motorcycle are a special breed.  No manufacture has so capably and enthusiastically addressed their needs as has BMW Motorrad.  Pictured here is our 1991 BMW R100GS, one of the original "Adventure Touring" motorcycles.  It has taken us for many years on adventures throughout the Alps and beyond.  Dressed in contemporary riding attire, the GS Dry Suit from BMW, this rider returns to her bike with picnic supplies.

    Lady in Waiting
  • Motorcycle builder Magni from Italy displayed these beautiful examples of MV Agusta motorcycles.  The number 3 seen here is what is known as a retro design.  While this bike looks like an MV from the early 1970s, it is actually a 2019 model.
