He's had a Japanese cruiser (I think a Shadow 900) for a while...he just bought another. It's almost identical to his first Japanese bike (after a bunch of British bikes): a 1978 Yamaha XS750E triple. He got it for practically nothing, still wearing plates that expired in 1998. He plans to ride it on the Dragon this summer.
(Despite its 15-year hibernation, it has about 55,000 miles.)
