Oh and by the way yes, that RC8 is all carbon fiber right down to the Dymags. I've waited since this was a concept bike at least seven years to see it finally come to the market. I feel the same about it now as the first photos way back then. It is the hottest sportbike ever made  [bow_down]   oh so dreamy

The wife said "this is pretty why don't you get this one"...... I don't think she looked at the price.

Cool pics, Gabe!  That KTM is really cool - you need to get one.   [evil]   ;D

I'm bummed that I had to travel this weekend and missed the MC show. 

How was the show overall?  Was there a good turnout?  I heard that Triumph and BMW didn't have displays this year.

Nothing secret. Just go to www.mnducati.com  There you can submit your info to join the Minnesota Ducati Owner's Club. It is just a heartbeat away from being an official Ducati club. The monthly gatherings, (I remember meeting you at one) are our meetings. If you have any questions, pm Monstergirl here, or go to the club website and send e-mail there.  [beer]

Pete, you didn't miss much. It was a really dry year. Add Aprillia to the list of MIA.

The KTM in the photo is decked out with extras. Mark kept pushing the rep. until he finally caved and told him that it is valued at over $40K.  [roll]

[THREADJACK]

I went to B & Noble to find your book but had no luck. I guess I have to order it from Amazon? Or, do you still have some copies left? I'll buy one from you at one of the monthly gatherings.  [beer]

Hmmm.  $40k.  Well, at least you could deduct the sales tax (http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2009/02/18/motorcycle-tax-deductions-in-stimulus-package/) on it?   [laugh]  [moto]

I'm flattered that you want a copy of my BMW book!   B&N doesn't carry many moto books in stores any more, but we've still sold over 5000 copies since September.  I have a few copies on hand that I can sell to you, or you can order it from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Art-BMW-Years-Motorcycling-Excellence/dp/0760333157/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234973036&sr=8-1).  Whichever you choose, I'll be happy to autograph it for you.   ;D
