I do wonder what Ducati has in store for the 849! 

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Took my wife to my daughter's place for a Mothers' Day brunch...ate too much and spent the rest of the day wishing I hadn't...

Returned to my real world in Waikiki.  The weekend escape to the North Shore was worthwhile and very relaxing.  Now...off to download the WSBK race!

Reloaded the matrix and rolled it down the snake.  Much better machine today with the revamped rear shock.  I was worried the new spring would be too much but it feels much better.  Monoposto conversion feels a bit odd as the weight loss is definitely noticeable.
'07 S4RS and '04 998 Matrix.  Because sometimes I feel like a monster, and sometimes I don't.

Yesterday: Went for what turned out to be a 300(ish) mile ride out through western VA and found some AMAZING new (to me) roads just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Was hoping to map the route, but the GPS on my phone took a crap on me.

I remember going thru the Blue Ridge Parkway the 70's...beautiful area.
Bet those roads are AWESOME on a Ducati!!! [Dolph]
My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

Yep, sure was. I'd be willing to do that sort of distance on the SC, but it's up on stands for now.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

You'll have to show me around the fun roads once I get back to the DC area next summer.  We just drove up from Old Town Alexandria upto Thunderbolt for CSS.  It felt refreshing to be able to drive through multiple state-lines and consistently drive 70'ish MPH!  We made a mini-road trip out of it and did a little shopping in Arundel, MD.

That's three tanks of gas for most any of our bikes.  ;D
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Nice isn't it when you're done with a project and it turns out good!   [Dolph]

Finished the valve adjustment on the 848 today! Downhill from here on out now.  One month into this service.
