Man, I leave the country for a week and the economy crumbles! What gives?
Well, at least one good thing happened while I was away: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/09/16/sports/MOT-Ducati-Hayden.php
I refer you to this thread. The best among many.

[roll] ;D
Omigosh. That tread was hilarious. At least I have the excuse of being out of the country w/o an internet connection for the past 2 weeks.
Actually how I saw it was in my hotel room in Guam. I was watching CNN and the news scrolled by on the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, I would have been clueless.
Now, did I miss any other notable news, like which bike you've decided on! I'm actually thinking about getting a Harley. I still love the Nightster.
GUAM!?! I LOVE GUAM!!!!!
that is all.
;D
I do too. I actually like that slow pace . . . and the people there are so friendly. I hope to go back sometime soon.
Where were you staying? I am particularly fond of the Hyatt, though their food selection is kinda crap. Waterslides make everything better.
I stayed at the Westin. The room was really nice and modern. (I think the entire hotel was recently renovated.) It also has a great location, but I prefer the lay out of the Hilton.

I didn't know my next bike, whatever it may be, would be notable news. At any rate there is no news about that, and there won't be until, if , the Monster is sold. I think a Nightster would be pretty cool too but no Harleys for me at this point. I did look at some of them last week but nothing grabbed me enough.
ah, so that's where you've been hiding, eh?
welcome back!

On my way to work this morning I passed by a parked 883 Low. I actually stopped and reversed to get a better look (side street in Kakaako at 6am) -- I liked it. Much more so than the Nightster. The Nightster has those funky gaiters on the front forks whereas the Low has a very clean front end. The 1200 Low looks good too but I prefer the tank style on the 883. I thought the 883 Low was super good looking. [thumbsup]
Too bad it's still a Harley = doesn't go, doesn't stop and doesn't turn. [laugh]

and to borrow a line from my MSF instructor, "...but you look good!" [cheeky]

Lance is coming out of retirement.
Oh yeah. I saw that while I was out.
