I didn't like the styling at first. But after reading about its features and how it actually rides, well...

If it actually starts on the first try when cold, and if it has a metal fuel tank, then I might just have to replace my Monster with one of these.

If I knew how to ride and the idiot car drivers were gone, I'd want a Ducati.

In the next two years I'll be dumping my Harley for a BMW 1600 GTL.

I know how to ride but the idiot car drivers caused me to hang up my helmet.

Just yesterday I was driving around town running errands and there is still a lot of snow around. In this case it was a four-lane road with snow plowed rather haphazardly so that sometimes it was more like three or two lanes. I was in the right lane and noticed that my lane was beginning to disappear. I signaled to move over to the left lane, and just as I started to move over a red '90's Camaro suddenly shot up my left side and I damn near hit him. It was obvious to anybody paying any attention at all that I wasn't going to be able to stay in my lane, my signal was on, and I was moving over. No, he just rammed his car up there, forcing me to slam on my brakes and ride up into the snow bank a bit.

Then he ran the red light and, while doing so, shot me the bird.

Nice.

Those people are why I prefer a large car or truck.

My next cage will depend on my wife's next vehicle. If she gets a car, I'm likely going to get a Crew Cab pickup with a 3" lift (body or suspension, not both) and a "destroy anything that gets in my way" guard on the front.

If she gets an SUV, well, it's sports car time!

Wow, the production version looks much better than the prototype...



I saw that last year and was like; "Why is Ducati making a V-Rod knockoff?"

Not sure how that would be strange. I'd prefer that damage in an accident be sustained by the other vehicle.
