Ran across this add today. The Duc truck is stopping by formula one this weekend. Test rides for the Hypermotard. I `ll probably go since I`m just a few minutes away. I know some of you said that you missed it when it was around recently.

The duc truck is cool ... saw it at Cliff's back in June.
For those that can't make it to the event to test ride a Hyper, then you may want to call Nick at Rockwell Cycles. I believe he has a demo Hyper S for test rides [moto]. He brought it to the DESMO BBQ yesterday and was telling me about it.
August 30 & 31
According to the link.
I will try to make it out there. [thumbsup]

If you come out, might you be interested in a quick ride out east on some halfway decent roads for LI.

I'll happily lead ;D, ill probably be picking my bike up on that day too its going to need some breaking back in, being hopeful for that day anyways [bacon]
I'm in for a ride. Last time I went for a ride way out on the island was couple of years ago with some guys from the SBN forum. Guy on a R6 and another on a kawi. Sandy twisty roads and they both dumped. I need some good memories of East island roads ;D
Before I call out there, is it just the Hyper? Or are there other rides to be had? Anyone know?
Wanna try the MTS AND a SBK of some sort.

called F one moto and spoke to a man named " whitey " and ask if there is a sign up sheet to get ahead of the line and he said there will be on Friday

Nice to hear... I was looking for a Tach and a Speedo for my bike... I don't know how anyone would was a bike with a speedo strapped to em.... does it give an accurate reading of speed when wet...? ;D
Im there baby
anyone want to ride out in li before going to formula one to check out the duc truck. we could meet at like 9:30 and be at the duc truck by noon or earlier. I don't know what time it starts. if not I should be up for a ride after but before would be preferable.

Are you still pushing through with your 930am ride out to LI? If you are I think I want to join you. Sorry for the late response. Keep me posted. I'm located in Howard Beach...let me know where we should all meet.
Thanks!
well it sucked (for me any ways)
cuz I'm under 21 couldn't test ride the hyper
hope others had better luck
I tested the hyper and holy crap what a blast that thing is!! Yeah my bro had the same issue andro he came out with me to test it and they wouldnt let him.
But damn!! The bike is so incredibly smooth and the torque very manageable the upright position and bars give you so much leverage to throw it into the corners i loved the thing. If i didnt want an adventure bike next so bad i would seriously consider one of these things. Guess i could always throw street tires on my old cr80 :P
