I really like the fact that I've had it for 4 days and I haven't been able to get this stupid grin off my face yet. 

It's been since September 2009 when I bought my Multi...and I'm still grinning too. Yes, you will not lose the grin. 

Mine's a '99. The grin? it never has to go away.

Maybe a grimace once in a while

11 days... still grinnin'!!

I take a left from Spring Creek onto the Dallas Parkway south-bound service road every morning, and I usually take that opportunity to 'go hooligan' a bit.  I'm flat out giggling like a school-girl by the time I shift into third...  Man, those cars disappear from my rear-view mirrors SOOOO quickly... 

Have I mentioned how much I love this bike?   

welcome to the board.  hope you're enjoying the Motard.  Looking forward to seeing you at a few meets.

The transmission. Smooth as silk NEVER miss a shift NEVER find a false neutral, NEVER have it kick out of gear.

The clutch noise.

The fact that everyone I know is afraid to ride it. (and not cuz they'll nick the perfect paint, but because they are afraid it will eat them)

Thanks, man!  I'm loving it, and I am looking forward to meeting up with you guys. 

The digital dash (both 1098 and 1198  )

The DP quick shifter!

dry clutch!

Sound

effortless wheel pulling power

Power!

No plastic axle endcaps to loose on a long ride

 

the dry clutch!!   

clutch, meet pants.  pants, clutch.

it's looking pretty black and ugly now.

ouchy.   

I always wondered what would happen if something like that happened. I forgot, what kind of clutch cover do you have? Just curious to know how open it is.

proitalia.  i don't consider it very open really... but if you're careless and not respecting that spinning wheel, it'll getcha.  i was actually just out there to start it up and see if it was doing any better post-vdst tps reset (or to see if the reset "stuck")... and i got on the bike after it was started, and went to put right foot on peg, and the pants just barely caught the bottom of my pant leg.  i reacted pretty fast and popped the killswitch, but even then it seemed like it was spinning for so long against my calf.  weird how time can kind of slow down.  i'm just super glad that there weren't any springs with jagged metal bits on the end sticking out... would have been a messy trip to the ER if that were the case.
