Speaking of the Bay Bridge

Here is a another picture I took with the Bay Bridge as the backdrop.  Most people will not be able to guess the other bike in the picture.  It's a Laverda Ghoststrike, a 668cc parallel twin Italian naked bike.  It was a sweet little bike with adjustable WP suspension fore and aft, Marchesini wheels, and huge Brembo brakes.  It was a sweet little machine, if you like your bikes racy with on/off throttle response and brakes that had no idea what modulation meant. We got it as a first bike for my girlfriend and in retrospect, it was a great bike but not a great first bike.

We got it for a song and let it go for a little more than a song.
