Just got back from my first road trip on the new Monster.  After stopping for lunch on the road one day, there was a fellow (probably 50-60 yrs old) that came up to me, complimented me on the bike, and walked with me to it.  We got talking about it a bit, and then he said "I've never heard one before.  The valves...I've read so much about those valves, but I've never heard them."  Of course, I made sure to fulfill his wish.   ;D   Guess I was shocked by the fact that someone was so interested in the desmo valves instead of the usual "Uh, what's a Ducati?"

It's the truth.  Sadly, I just added a new Bonneville to the stable and now it's worse than ever before.
I'm thinking of a puppy to pull the chicks...........

Wow! I never thought you'd part with the Ural.  There's two that run around Kailua town on Sunday mornings. Dogs in the sidecars too.
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.
