Sure, I know it's cheesy, but WTH...
This year I'm gonna get all 6 bikes running & street legal, brush my teeth more often, lose 10 pounds, & be nicer to the Westies ;D

Oyé, Cabron... You can't squirrel out by deleting your post... I'll go you 1 better-
Betcha double I'll have 4 bikes, not only running, but also street legal with reg, inspection & insurance by the end of January. Well?!? [evil]
Man, those are some heavy-duty resolutions. Looking forward to seeing all your bad-arse bikes on the road.
You and Brian... Wow, just wow [laugh] [beer]
Happy New Year!

hahahaha. I looked at it and said shyat I'll have to go into the apology thread so I modified. [leo] [leo] [leo] [leo] [leo]
ok lets do this. If you have four up and street legal I may jump on the Vespa and chase you on the Toaster?

That might be a close race, at least to 40 or 50...
The Vespa's lighter & is 2 stroke, but tops out at about 65.
The Toaster might pull ahead just 'cause of the bigger motor.
Maybe I should take them both to a track day?!? ;D
I conducted this same race in 1989, and the toaster smoked the vespa. Good thing, too, because I was talking some SERIOUS shit at the time...
In terms of resolutions, it's always the same: drink more. I'm well on my way...!

I'm telling you, create a track inside the warehome and let us at it......of course, dust the floor first so I have at least half a chance at rounding the first pylon.
My revolutions...
1. More trackdays!
2. More bicycling
3. More motos in the garage
4. More exercising
Just two:
1) Keep car from running into trees
2) Don't dump cycle in hotel parking lots

Good stuff, Todd... We're gonna hold you to it!
Worked on the Toaster yesterday...
I added a pig-tail for the battery tender, topped up the water in the battery (kickin' it old skool style), & aired up the tires.
All I need are 2 new screws to hold the side panels on, & I'll be through with that one.
Today, I start putting the 1098 back to street [thumbsup]
I have a couple:
1) Talk more shit to the easties! [thumbsup] (westies rule!)
2) get another bike (track)
3) Drink, drink, drink, drunk. ;D
4) Move to WV. :P
5) Try and get back to the DFW area at least once this year! 8)

Ordered a coupla bits to replace broken bits on the 1098... new under-tail section, & new front fairing stay.
Also ordered the new license plate bracket with the LED running/brake/turn lights. Got it in chrome this time ;D

Got my $150. piece of genuine Ducati plastic in today... :P

...so to install the above mentioned piece, all you have to do is take off the tail, then remove the exhaust, then undo the license plate bracket & wiring :P

You wouldn't have to replace it if you didn't keep breaking it! The tires are supposed to be on the ground, not the tail section! And how about some fresh rubber while you're at it? Looks like an alligator has been chewing on your tire.
I now have the 1098 back together, with the new under-tail piece installed [thumbsup]

Huge thanks to AMS-D! They were great to schedule a time when I could have the recall work done while I waited.
New battery compartment & heat shield (voltage regulator had already been done).
(http://gallery.me.com/metcalfe/100011/photo1231781605599/web.jpg)
I also put the side cover thingys back on as well...

Huge thanks again to everyone who helped put the K bike back together [thumbsup]

Looking good. Nice to see it in racy street clothes again.
What's different about the new battery compartment area? Looks kinda the same.

I think you're doin' OK already.
Maybe faster at the track? I'm in for that [moto] [thumbsup]

oh..... no doubt I could be faster there.....i had no idea the suspension was holding me back that much. I rode the R6 Sunday and was the fastest in the corners that I had ever been.....not one time did I lose my comfort zone either. It's track time [thumbsup]
