Moto Mascot

Dar over at Princess Scooterpie has posted up this new blog challenge:
Do you have a Moto mascot for your bike or scooter? Does your bike have a name? 
Well yeah, there's someone who has been hitching a ride on the Connie for a little while now: introducing Mutley!

Simultaneously riding on a bike and a boat
Pausing momentarily at a TT2000 checkpoint
Taking time out to view the scenery
Meeting the nieces
The DL doesn't have it's own mascot but when I take it away on a decent trip I'm sure Mutley will be keen to tag along.

As for bike names?  Well, I'm pretty boring, the Concours is usually "the Connie" and the V-Strom is either "the DL" or "the Vee".

    1. Hmmm, maybe, except he is usually tucked in behind the screen keeping out of the weather...

  5. Love your pics! Hello Sir Mutley! I actually have two mascots, Evil Kitteh and a little Moose affectionately dubbed Moosey. I have had Moosey since is got my first car way back when. Love your Connie, I wish I was a few inches taller and was able to ride some of these great bikes.

    1. I'm sure you'll be able to find a few bikes where height isn't important - get out there and try some for size!
