James, that's so TOB

Leo posted those vids on TOB awhile back.  They are pretty neat though

Has anyone seen or heard from Swanny? I do not recall seeing any posts from him since the big switch.

I am here.  Just don't have much time to wade through all of these posts to find something that I can respond to.  You guys are posting machines.

I will try to post up when I can add something of value.  I will probably get back with you faster if you PM me so I know that there is someone that needs something from me.

The James is doing a good job of making it difficult to keep up on threads

I think im done w/ that card.

I agree. I think his post about the Ducati videos is the first post I have seen in days that had anything to do with Ducati motorcycles. I thought I had wandered into some sort of chatty blog about who knows what! Those are cool vids though. I remember the post about them on the old board but I didn't watch the one about the Futa Pass/1098 & Sports1000 until just now. Wow, what a road! Gee, just like the ones around Dallas... right.

Can't watch them at work    but I will check them out later when I get home!

Hey WTF did I say anything about taking cuts in line?  No I didn't if he can't fix your bike by the end of next week then theres no hope, you'll just have to give it to me.  And I'll take care of it after I get back from the HC ride.    Also when you are at the house waiting for cory...  NO soup RUM FOR YOU!!   

wtf, i LOVE soup... what kind are we talking, chicken tortilla?  if so, screw the rum i want the soup.

i talked to Randy today, and, though i think i may have been a little frustratingly vague as far as what i wanted him to do (just make it run good and be dependable!!), he's on the job!    i think as long as i can be confident that it's not overheating (it approaches 300 degrees F. with the bodywork all on) to a danger-point and she starts up without too much hesitation, i'm good to go!  otherwise it runs great, shifts great....no complaints.  i just feel better having Randy give it a look-over.

Good plan, being new and all.  Randy can check the important stuff.

WTF, do you mean no RUM, if I can't have RUM then you can't drink.  Only chicken tortilla soup.  So make up your mind already.  Soup (no drinky) or rum (you drinky)!!

Good move to have him take a look see at the bike! He will give you a real good estimate/report of how she's doing. Randy is a perfectionist and I mean that in a good way (not OCD weird!) and he'll look into stuff you wouldn't even think about. Great guy and knows his stuff! Love hanging around talking old school 70-80s motocross and Superbikes with him. Hell, every time I go by to drop or pick up a bike I end up leaving an hour later... nice talking to someone about right hand shift, four speed, dual down pipe CZ MX bikes or Wirges expansion chambers on '72 Kawi H2 triples... ah, never mind!
