          WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to enter into an agreement
relating to the employment of Executive by the Company;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as
follows:

               1. Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section
          8 of this Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company for a
          period commencing on August 2, 2004 (the "Commencement Date") and
          ending on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date (the
          "Employment Term"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set
          forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
          Employment Term shall be automatically extended for an additional
          two-year period followed by further one-year periods, unless the
          Company or Executive provides the other party hereto 3 months prior
          written notice before the expiration of the Employment Term that the
          Employment Term shall not be so extended. "Employment Term" shall
          include any extension that becomes applicable pursuant to the
          preceding sentence.

               2. Position.

                    (a) During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the
          Company's Chief Financial Officer. In such position, Executive shall
          have the powers, duties and responsibilities that are customary for a
          Chief Financial Officer of a corporation of the size, type and nature
          of the Company and shall perform such other duties as the Company's
          Board of Directors or Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), as
          the --- case may be, shall determine in their reasonable discretion.
          Executive shall report exclusively to the CEO. Executive shall comply
          with all federal, state and local laws applicable to his duties and
          also shall comply with the rules and regulations of any
          self-regulatory organization (as such term is defined in Rule 3(a)(26)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) having
          jurisdiction over the Company.

                    (b) During the Employment Term, Executive will devote his
          full business time to the performance of his duties hereunder and will
          not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for
          compensation or otherwise which would conflict with the rendition of
          such services either directly or indirectly, without the prior written
          consent of the CEO. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Executive
          from (i) serving on corporate, civic and charitable boards or
          committees and (ii) managing his personal investments; provided that
          none of the activities set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) interferes in
          any material respect with the performance of Executive's employment
          hereunder or conflict in any material respect with the business of the
          Company.



                                                                               2

          3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay
Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") at the annual rate of $140,000
payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company's usual payment
practices. Executive shall be entitled to such annual increases in his Base
Salary, if any, as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Company's
Board of Directors or of the Compensation Committee thereof.

          4. Additional Compensation

          In addition to salary and other compensation specified in this
agreement, Executive may from time to time, receive such additional compensation
from the Company in such form or forms as may be determined by the Company's
Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof from time to time in
order to more fully compensate Executive for the true value of his services to
the Company.

          5. Equity Arrangements.

          (a) Executive shall be entitled to an initial grant on the
Commencement Date (the "Initial Grant") of 4,545,455 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Initial Compensation Shares"),
subject to stock splits.  Subject to Section 8, Executive's rights to such
shares of stock shall vest as follows:

               (i) 20% of the Initial Compensation Shares on January 1, 2005;
and

               (ii) 20% of the Initial Compensation Shares on July 1, 2005; 20%
of the Initial Compensation Shares on July 1, 2006; 20% of the Initial
Compensation Shares on July 1, 2007; and 20% of the Initial Compensation Shares
on July 1, 2008; provided that Executive is still employed by the Company on the
date on which any such 20% portion shall vest. If Executive's employment
hereunder is terminated for any reason prior to an Anniversary Date, Executive
shall be entitled to receive that percentage of the Initial Compensation Shares
which would have vested in the year ending on such Anniversary Date equal to the
number of days Executive served in such year divided by three hundred sixty-five
(365).

               (b) Following the termination of Executive's employment
hereunder, if Executive determines to sell all or any portion of his vested
Initial Compensation Shares Executive shall first offer to sell such Shares to
the Company by providing written notice to the Company setting forth the number
of Initial Compensation Shares to be sold. If the Company elects to purchase all
of such Initial Compensation Shares so offered the purchase price per share
therefor shall equal 90% of the average daily bid price per share of the
Company's Common Stock during the 7-trading day period following receipt by the
Company of such notice. If the Company elects to purchase less than all of the
Initial Compensation Shares so offered, the purchase price per share shall be
100% of the average daily bid price per share of the Company's Common Stock
during the 7-trading day period following receipt by the Company of such notice.
The Company shall notify Executive in writing of its decision whether to
purchase any or all of the Initial Compensation Shares so offered within three
days of the end of such 7-trading day period. If the Company elects to purchase
such Shares, the Company shall pay the full purchase price therefor within
thirty (30) days of the Company's election to so purchase. If the



                                                                               3

Company does not so elect or fails to notify Executive of its election within
the time specified herein, Executive shall be permitted to sell such Initial
Compensation Shares in the open market in accordance with the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          6. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be
provided, in accordance with the terms of the Company's employee benefit plans
as in effect from time to time, health insurance and short term and long term
disability insurance, retirement benefits and fringe benefits (collectively
"Employee Benefits") on the same basis as those benefits are generally made
available to other senior executives of the Company. Executive shall be entitled
to paid vacation of three (3) weeks, pro rated, during the first calendar year
within the Employment Term, and four (4) weeks during the remaining years of the
Employment Term. Such vacation shall be taken at times consistent with the
proper performance by the Executive of his duties and responsibilities and with
the approval of the CEO. Vacation not taken in any calendar year shall not carry
forward to any future year.


          7. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business
expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder shall
be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Company policies.

          8. Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

               (a) By the Company for Cause or By Executive Resignation without
     Good Reason.

                    (i) The Employment Term and Executive's employment hereunder

                    (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (A)
          the Executive's willful and continued failure to substantially

          Directors or the CEO. No act or failure to act will be deemed
          "willful" (i) unless effected without a reasonable belief that
          such action or failure to act was in or not opposed to the
          Company's best interest; or (ii) if it results from any physical
          or mental incapacity.

                    (iii) If Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
          for Cause, or if Executive resigns without Good Reason, Executive
          shall be




                                                                               4

          the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine,
          in any twelve (12) consecutive month period to perform his duties,

          Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified
          independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the
          Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified
          independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those
          two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination
          in writing. For purposes of this Agreement, "Retirement" shall mean a
          Participant's voluntary resignation any time after attaining age 65

          hereof in such year based upon the percentage of the calendar year
          that shall have elapsed through the date of Executive's termination of

          otherwise been payable had the Executive's employment not terminated,
          (C) the opportunity to exercise vested stock options and Executive's
          stock options scheduled to vest during the year following such
          termination (i) in the case of death or Disability, for one year
          following such termination or (ii) in the case of Retirement, for four
          years following such termination, (D) a pro rata portion of any long
          term incentive granted to the Executive and (E) such compensation and



                                                                               5

          Company, (F) any reimbursable business expenses incurred; and (G) any
          accrued but unpaid Additional Compensation through the termination
          date. Following such termination of Executives employment due to
          death, Disability or Retirement, except as set forth in this Section
          8(b), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or
          any other benefits under this Agreement.

               (c) By the Company without Cause or Resignation by Executive for
     Good Reason.

                    (i) The Employment Term and Executive's employment hereunder

          resignation for Good Reason.

                    (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall
          mean:

          by an opinion of competent counsel presented by Executive to the
          Company and confirmed by the Company's counsel, and such action

               Compensation would have otherwise been payable had the
               Executive's employment not terminated,.



               (d) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of
     employment by the Company or by Executive (other than due to
     Executive's death or in accordance with the provisions of Section 1
     hereof) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the
     other party hereto in accordance with Section 12(i) hereof. For
     purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
     notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
     Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
     facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
     employment under the provision so indicated.

          9. Severance. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c)(vi) of this
Agreement, Executive shall earn additional "Severance" compensation based on
Executive's base salary according to Executive's length of service with the
Company. Executive shall earn three months of Severance for up to six months of
service; six months of Severance during the seventh through the twelfth month of
service and one year of Severance for one year or more of service. All Severance
payments will be paid in accordance with the Company's regular payroll policy.

          10. Confidentiality. Executive will not at any time (whether during or
after his employment with the Company), unless required by a court or
administrative agency, disclose or use for his own benefit or purposes or the
benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture,
association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise
other than the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any trade
secrets, information, data, or other confidential information relating to
customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales
activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes,
financing methods, plans, or the business and affairs of the Company generally,
or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to information which is not unique to the Company or which is
generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of
Executive's breach of this covenant.



                                                                              11

     Executive shall not disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to
any person except the CEO or the Board of Directors of the Company and to its
auditors and counsel and to Executive's own personal financial advisor,
accountant and counsel unless otherwise required by applicable law.

          11. Noncompetition. During the term of Executive's employment with the
Company and for a period of two (2) years after he ceases to be employed by the
Company, Executive shall not engage directly or indirectly in competition with
the Company or its Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in the business of motorcycle leasing or
finance. Competition shall include, without limitation, any role as a sponsor,
consultant, employee, partner or stockholder which aids or abets any business to
compete or prepare for competition with the Company or its Affiliates in any
business in which any of them is engaged or planning to engage. Executive
further acknowledges that competitive activities in violation of this Section
could cause irreparable injury to the Company and that such injury would be
difficult or impossible to measure. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled
to an injunction and other equitable remedies for any violation without limiting
the Company's rights to pursue monetary or other damages or remedies.

          12. Miscellaneous.

               (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
     construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
     without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

               (b) Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in

     commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association
     ("AAA") in effect at the time of the arbitration before a single
     arbitrator appointed by the President of the AAA; provided that such
     arbitrator shall be an expert in the field of finance and shall not
     have had any previous dealings or relationships with either party. The
     Company shall reimburse Executive's legal fees of one counsel and
     costs incurred to enforce his rights under this Agreement if Executive
     substantially prevails in any dispute or controversy.

     understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of

     promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties
     with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly
     set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or
     amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

               (d) No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict
     adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be
     considered a waiver of such party's rights or deprive such party of
     the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or
     any other term of this Agreement.



                                                                              10

               (e) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
     provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or

     enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not
     be affected thereby.

               (f) Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by
     Executive. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a company
     which is a successor in interest to substantially all of the business
     operations of the Company. Such assignment shall become effective when
     the Company notifies the Executive of such assignment or at such later
     date as may be specified in such notice. Upon such assignment, the
     rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall become the
     rights and obligations of such successor company, provided that any
     assignee expressly assumes the obligations, rights and privileges of
     this Agreement.

               (g) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate
     damages or the amount of any payment to Executive provided for under
     this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor, except
     as otherwise provided herein, shall the amount of any payment provided
     for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by
     Executive as a result of employment after termination.

               (h) Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to

     each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
     signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
