Sorry Ben, no deserters.    

 Screw you buddy!  

I'm in for at least one.

Oh believe me, I didn't take it seriously at all.  I just love that "smiley" thingy. 

I don't have any of the old pics, unfortunately.  I thought Teddy had all the proofs.

Why the thumbs down?  I thought you already went down to the dealer and put your name on the list, that is, unless, you went down to DucPond and signed up for a F3....... [moto]

Here's the thread with all the talk, but the pics are gone.  http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=24316.0

I was just hoping they would have done a little sumphin sumphin for the motor...  And no, no F3 for me.  I'm going the full fat route if I get an MV.

You could always go out & find yourself a used 675 and then add $3,000 in an Ohlins TTX rear shock and front fork cartridge kit. Another $4,000 to $5,000 in exhaust, PC, quick shifter and engine race upgrades and you'd be flyin'.  You know the front calipers don't add much except bling. It's the masters that count.    [moto]

Right!  That's it!

Pondering the feasibility of moving to a ... ahem .... more comfortable bike.  My repeated back injuries don't like this one much, but I really don't want to spend any money.  Perhaps theft is the answer...

Bike as in Monster or as in Colnago?

Oh, Monster, sorry.  Oddly I can handle up to about an hour on the Cielo (which used to be the Colnago), but the 10 minute commute to work on the Monster kills me. 

You should try out a Sport1000.

Sounds like you're in the market for a Street Fighter with a Renthal 814 bend handlebar...

Looking to sell yours Gene?

Nope, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands...






















of course as I get up there in years I may have to trade it for one of these... [moto]

Gene, you buy that Norton and I will personally come down there to pry it from said fingers, cold and dead or not.  

Well, assuming Rick doesn't beat me to it.
