Saturday from noon to 2 there will be a special guest at AMS. Word from the new Orleans reveal is that my friend LOVED it. Wife and I will be taking in breakfast at Zaguan about 10 that morning. All interested show up
I hear moonpies may be present too
i'm a maybe... i have something going on at 1 but it's close to home
Pretty sure we are in, hard to miss Zaguans, as for the horny beak multi.... it needs a treatment like this:

Sounds like a fun outing. I'll do my best to be there...
I work out on Saturdays from 9-10a.m. ... of course, I don't need to tell anyone THAT - it's obvious. Being the former BowFlex spokes-body, I feel an obligation to maintain at all times.

so you're the one I bumped off the commercials. so sorry for your loss of income.
ok it seems we are caging it because of "bad" weather.
I'll try and make this. Should be a winner [thumbsup]
I should make it to AMS, but unsure about Zaguan
The rain is already coming down at 7:30 AM, and my cage is in the shop until Monday. [coffee]
Wait, mi esposa :-* me preste su carrucha.[thumbsup]

Thanks, 'Spoke, I should be cage-mobile in about an hour. See you and UJ at Zaguqan's, or if not there, at the event.
Uh, won't be making Zaguan's... See y'all at AMS [thumbsup]
going to try to show to AMS. will be in a cage and with kiddos, so make sure your valuables and breakables are safely stowed.
Post the pic of Skrat and Liz on the bike... I need to photo chop it! ;D ;D
Awesome bike!

I like the new Multi. Wasn't prepared to like it from the pictures on the web - had too much of a beak. Looks 1000% better in person.
So who put money down on one today? [evil] [popcorn]

I actually liked the beak's appearance as much as I appreciate its function. Together with the symmetrical headlight lens shapes (thank god they fixed those!), it roughly outlines the profile of a bird of prey. I could see this bike making an ideal canvas for custom paint.
I saw one guy writing a check but don't know him. I would never buy anything until I ride it.
i believe two folks put down deposits, and another jumped on the Corse LE. I hope I die hard Hayden fans jumps after the NH848, I'd rather see a different special livery model sitting on the floor than it. I think I've said that a million times though.
2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 tutorial - Ep.3 - Testastretta 11° engine (English - Italian).flv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFrpGGdrJ7c#normal)
I watched this video the other day. I think it explains well the valve timing/overlap change from 41° to 11°, though the speaker at the shop went into more detail a bit. The animation needs a degree wheel at the top, and several more levels of zoom to make the most sense.
This changes the energy from the piston per firing?
Or power between firings?
What about the sound emitted?
sounds like this
Ducati Multistrada 1200 spotted testing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta4HQ_U6eUg#normal)
Sorry, that's one ugly mother make the beast with two backser. No thanks, don't care if it runs 9 second quarter miles. It's in an ugly contest with the new Honda VFR. [bang]
NO NO NO NO >:(
it looks a hell of a lot better in person and I for one may consider this a replacement to the Monster when I'm done with her and have a SBK in the stable......................long way away still BUT
Yep, me too. It's weird, the last several Ducatis have looked so much less than stellar in pictures but once you can walk around one and take it in, 1000% better. Plus, Ducati build-quality is still top of the line and this time, features (in addition to styling) are what sells the bike; total package IMHO.
I like that the touring package has what I would want on the bike - heated grips, centerstand, etc. The Sport is adorned in carbon, and that's the one we saw at the shop. This is a bike I would not buy in non-S fare. The only thing that "doesn't look good" in person is the windshield, and that's because I'm not really a fan of windshields in general that aren't a part of the fairing. It looks like every other touring bike in this aspect. Far better than the asymmetrical BMW dumpertrucks.
It's the Tesstaretta motor that appeals to me. I could give a flyin F*&k as to what it looks like. It is what it is. If it DOES what I want it to then I'm good to go. The S suspension and Termis are everything in a Duc. Combine that with new technology TII engine...come on! What's NOT to like about it. If I were in a beauty contest I'd drive something else. But hey, just look at what I'm riding at the moment! [thumbsup] [laugh] [beer]
I didn't get the HM1100 for the beak, but for the ride.
Now I like the beak as well as the Multis'.
Om that note, the Streetfighters' is too low [roll]
That's only because they built the Hyper for extroidinary individuals such as yourself TG. [drink]
All I know is I like it. [moto]
