God that's ugly.

It's too ugly for any friend of mine to have.

He must give it to me so he doesn't suffer from the ugliness.

mother-lover....  >:( 

I'm calling the cops and going to report someone riding a black bike excessively fast with a crazed look of ecstasy on his face. 

Oh, it's got the stealth anti-radar coating, didn't you know? They don't have a chance.

Actually, I was instructed to take it easy for the first 100 miles and then start giving it a bit of a goose. Fortunately 100 miles happened just before Nicasio reservoir. Holy Mother Of God. A person could get in a buttload of trouble on this bike. You know on the old 900 where thing just kind of tops out at about 7500 rpm. Well, it's like there's a whole other motor in there that takes over around that point. I'm used to the Yamaha screaming like a demented banshee, but it is startling to have the Ducati just rev and rev and rev. Wow.

And it handles like a dream. I have no idea if the traction control kicked in, but you can pretty much dive into any corner and BWWWWAAAAAAAA out with nary a hiccup. This could be a lot of fun. Scratch that, it is a lot of fun.  I just hope I can hang on to my license...

You better bring that demon to Zeitgeist instead of that nancy boy scooter 'o yours.

The traction control almost makes me think I could handle this bike.

But until Ducati invents some sort of "evil impulses control", I probably can't.

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Yeah, the "Evil Impulses" and "Do Stupid Things" controls would be helpful with this one.

I gotta hook the thumb drive thingie up to my PC and see if it ever kicks in. I've been told it is very subtle, not like hitting the rev limiter mid-corner. A little light on the dash goes on too, but who the hell is looking at the dash?

Wire it to a shock collar.  Then stuff the collar down your panties.  You'll notice when the TC comes on.

You have pipes on it yet?  You might be able to hear the TC kick in based on the exhaust.

Pipes are next.  Along with a new rear stand for the SSS.
