Weekly Sunday morning Jamba Juice ride

[Speed 3 Pilot]

Good fun again today, despite the sloppy road up/down Tantalus, with the Pali and the various on/off ramps being near perfect......glad you could come out Sta, even if it was for only half the ride...

No one is rushing out to buy an aluminum tank for their bike?

None available for the F1098...

CA Cycleworks may already have one for you.

Thanks FP.  I was happy to get some  in today, finally after two straight Sundays raining weather.  Good pace set by our leader too!

well, I know that I'm sorted... I meant for the others


:edit: but then, I plan on commuting, and I may tire of the constant fills, so who knows

That might not be a bad thing minus the whole expanding tank deal.  I looked up one for the 848 and it was >$2,000 then I would have to have it shipped.        It reminded me of calling South Seas asking about a full Termi system for the bike and the parts guy on the phone goes, "Whoa!"  I just start laughing and asked how bad it was, >$3500.

You didn't know these things before you jumped into the pool? ?   

$2K for an aluminum tank is good.

An aftermarket oversized aluminum racing radiator for the 848/1098/1198 is over $3K an that doesn't include the price of the racing oil cooler. Mind you that is an aftermarket vendor price and not DP Racing. Next to MV's these bikes are the Ferrari's of the Motorbike world and are priced as such.     Oh well....

They are the Ferrari. MV just turns it up to Bugatti.

So Aprilia = Maserati then?

Or maybe Lambo.

Bimota though...  They take things straight to Pagani.

Ready for a Sunday joy ride? Hoping for a rainless day

I might do a half ride.

Won't know until the morning, if I do ride it'll probably be an abbreviated one...
