This is just me, and I'm a cranky killjoy, but I will absolutely not subject my bike to such abuse. The cause is good. The slow parade is not.
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.

That is why I still have the CBR600RR until I finish up the scheduled maintenance on it and actually sell it…  Or someone looks at it and steals it the next night.   :D

Supposed to be sunny and in the 60s here over the long weekend.   [thumbsup]

Just started downloading.   :D

The video has an amazing beginning and I enjoyed it as a whole...but it started dragging towards the end.

Which, most likely, means that at the beginning they (the producers) were hoping that Rossi & Ducati would get things going later on. Unfortunately, that never happened.

I always thought there was a bit of irony in the marketing art graphic. It says "Fastest" and shows Rossi & Edwards. But the fastest guys were out of the picture and a whopping shitload of seconds ahead by the end of the race.   [roll]   [roll]


WTH, I'll still probably buy it sometime later.

You're welcome to spend the money if you want your own copy...or I can drop mine off before I leave for the next 2-3 wks!

It was still raining in town when I left around 2145, but it was semi-dry in my neighborhood.  I' came down with a bad cold on thanksgiving.  Unless it pulls a 180, I m going to pass tomorrow.  Hope it does thou.   [bow_down]

Also did anyone else get the letter from Ducati regarding the tank issue?

Of particular note are the time limits, esp. the 18 month after settlement reached limit.

which would be why older bike owners might want to opt out of the class action?

Exactly.  Or, just sell their Ducati and be done with it...

But back on topic of rides...  It was 74 and sunny here today.   [thumbsup]
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
