It was “spring cleaning” day in my garage. Well… not so much cleaning as arranging so as to fit all the bikes in there…
From left to right:

First… Miss Rachel on the Team Calamari YSR (which is NOT a cheater bike)
Next we have my WERA championship winning Ducati 996. It is now back in street trim, but stays in the garage. Here’s a shot from the past when I was racing it:

To the right of the 996 is the latest addition to the group, a 2010 Ducati Streetfighter S.
Then, off the street we go, starting with a Honda CRF 450x. I picked this up last year for the trips to Durhamtown and other places after the pavement ends. This thing is a total blast to ride, has torque for days, and the suspension just soaks up all but the biggest craters in the trail.
Next is the Honda CRF 100. I bought this a few years ago so that I could ride with the girls. Needless to say that after an outing or two I started wishing I had something larger. It still goes out with us as a spare, and makes a great entry level bike that I can take clients out on (some people take their clients to the golf course, I take mine to the motocross track):

And Rebecca has ridden it a few times. It has a manual clutch so it will hang around until she grows into it.
After the 100 we step down to Rebecca’s Honda CRF 70.
And finally, Rachel’s Honda CRF 50 (with the outriggers).

The girls really enjoy riding, and they’re both looking forward to moving “up”…
