400cc NYC

After an 8 month absence from ridding, the modified 400cc Suzuki feels wonderful. Gently popping its throttle pulls the motorcycle ahead at breakneck speed. A conspicuous yellow paint job and deafening muffler draw looks from everyone in traffic.

We encounter two bullet bikes.

One rider turns back and nods.

The other waits impatiently.

One foot and a hand above the breaks,
the other foot pushing down on the shifter,
three fingers poping the clutch, and
two fingers guning the throttle

The road is no longer three lanes.

.....Its............

...............an

ever

shifting ..........

...........path.

Slipping through a collapsing line

we take the

lead.

Smile, downshift, make a U-turn and return home.

The Suzuki is returned to its owner.

The rider converses with the law.

As always interesting pictures from an equally omoshiro photographer:
