We sold the truck, the car, and stored the Honda 750 with Sandy's parents but we did manage to ship the Honda ST1100 over.  It is our sole means of transportation but it is much better than fighting through London traffic in a car.   In England, motorcycles are allowed to "filter" to the front of a queue of cars at stoplights and can go around cars caught in traffic jams.  This is great in theory, but it takes a bit of getting used to.  As you can see, this is not a small motorcycle and it is quite nerve-racking negotiating between cars and buses.  I am getting used to it, though, and it is does come in quite handy!

A couple of shots of the bike back in Atlanta:

In Atlanta, all our vehicles were spoiled since we kept them in the garage.  Here, the bike has to suffer the indignity of parking on the street.  It is secured with two different locks and has a cover, plus there is special motorcycle only parking available:
