Yes, the new ride is very cool, but I wasn't, due to the Scarabeo's aerodynamics (blocked the wind too well). Very smooth on the highway and on bumpy city streets. I caught DQ digging a ride on it while I was working at the D Store on Sunday. The big wheels made me feel a lot more confident when cornering. I've yet to work off the chicken strips. Of course, I couldn't keep up with DQ and MM in the twisties!

MM can do a good clip two-up on that "little" scoot of his.  I'd have second thoughts trying to keep up on the Duc on certain roads.   [laugh]

I can definitely see why. That thing flies...great power, and you pretty much want to keep the throttle pinned when you ride it.

Ah, the Road Mower is up for sale. If it hangs around any longer DQ will square off the rear tire doing burnouts. He's fully prepared to demonstrate for prospective buyers.

Speaking of new rides, when did you sell the 696 and acquire the 1100S?!

Ha Ha Belle, big kiss to you and I know BikerGodess my Job Hunting has been all consuming.  I have been using all my computer time looking for work.  It looks like something is going to stick soon.  I am flying to Philly on Sunday to meet with the Director of Sales for a company.  Wish me luck.  And as soon as I'm working.....#1 new clutch, then ride her like I stole her, b/c I'll have health insurance again  ;D
It's been real, it's been fun, it's been real fun!
