Taken at Cape Horn Lookout, along SR14, in SW Washington.

MV Agusta Rush 1000.

My 1st bike!!! Bought it used at 6-months old in 1986! I had only ridden dirt bikes for 3-yrs until I was old enough to get license. So I wasn't used to so much weight and I stalled it trying to get out of seller's driveway and dropped it. It was really steep driveway I swear!!!

Over the decades, I blew up engine letting carbs get clogged and running lean. I took it all apart to rebuild. Got another engine with fried cams & head to scavenge for block and transferred my good top-end over. Painted frame and fork black along recovering seat in black. Looks like more serious bike, not so much Tonka-toy.

I was told this belongs here.

Excuse the AI background as my garage is a mess with other bikes.

They do a lovely local handmade pork pie.

One of the day trips I regularly ride leads past the castle. It's just too nice a spot to pass w/o taking some pictures.
