Buck Owens... (he's dead now)

The 1098r belongs to Phil, lm met him a few days ago.

The sedici belongs to his buddy Arthur who also lives in town.

I rode up to Glennville on Sunday, I passed them going up as I was coming down.

Wooow. Kinda hard to beat that for company. Yes... your 1098, the 1098R & the sedici would have made a good Pic

Nice bikes.  I got a chance to see the Sedici in person this afternoon at Pro Italia.  Amazing looking bike...just amazing. I never realized that the front end of that bike is HUGE!

Rare that anyone would show up with a 1098 and it would be lamest of the bikes!  Holy crap!

Tell ya what though, for my purposes a 1098 fits the bill better than the R or the RR.

I must say, that monster looks better than all of them.

The sedici doesn't actually look that great, but we all know what its about don't we... ;)

btw Where did you get those aluminum chain adjust plates that dont bend?

Its too "faired in" It reminds me of the Honda Hurricane. Looks wise.

Of course Like I said, there is a lot of bad ass stuff going on behind those fairings. I just think The 1098 "looks" a little better, and his Monster "looks" better than the 1098.

But that's just me.

You can see how the body work on the Honda flows together very "Smurfy" like. (http://www.schtroumpf.com/images/meet_us/greedy.jpg)

(http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/bobspapa/ArtsDesmo0281.jpg?t=1218664812)

Somehow Not so "Smurfy" on the Desmo D but still Hurricane like.

Sweet Bike bobspapa!

What kind of rear sprocket is that? Is it the kind that is aluminum with steel teeth?
