I got to sit on, and blip the throttle of, a Desmoseidici yesterday.  Oh. My. God.

The thing is pure evil. It scares me just to look at it, and when you hear it in person (and I only cracked it open to 5K) you want to run to your Momma. Even with all the insurance in the world there's no way I would ever ride that thing. Holy hell.

That sounds like the sort of bike that, at least in my case, the throttle bodies would open in time with my sphincter  :o
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Well I saw one in person and the sound was deafening.

Apparently if you don't own one they only let really hot chicks sit on it and rev the engine.  :P

You must have looked mighty fine that day Micheal  ;D
