You go, guy! Nothing like a nice evening ride out there in the country. Here it seems to take 45
minutes to get to a decent riding area. Better post a picture or two.

You're probably making Harry feel badly. I havent' heard about any of his 'Ducati' escapades lately.

How's the seat on that thing? Comfortable?



I don't have "escapades," Racist John, but I was up in Connecticut
recently with my motorcycle, which I transported in the back of my
pick-me-up-truck.


We're you up there for a poser event? We see a lot of motorcycles
riding in trailers and pick me ups. I guess the owners are afraid
to break in the saddles or wear the little nibs off the tires. To
each his own. ?


A poser event? You mean something like those events Herring tows his
portable motel room to so he can hang out with the other old white guys
and listen to ersatz hillbilly music? No, I don't go to those. This was
just one of a few trips I make each year to the New Haven area to hang
out with old friends. Got pretty good MPGs driving up and back, too.

Got a lot of friends up there with Ducatis, eh.

Krause, your bull**** pile won't fit in your barn. Did you ever consider that?

BINGO! Hang out and pose with a bunch of 70 year old juvenile
delinquents. Could you still throw your leg over that thang and
ride it? Didn't think so.

What thang? He may have taken the Duc up there just to see if the truck would carry it...if he has a
Duc in the first place. Notice there's been no picture of it. Perhaps it doesn't reflect enough
light (maybe a 'ghost' Ducati) to set off the sensors in the Nikon he now owns.

No, but a couple of my old buds have motorcycles. As for bull****,
fortunately, I can't smell you from here.

Don't own a Nikon. Why wouldn't my truck carry it?

I bought a 1984 GL1200 with about 65k on the clock last fall and ride it every chance I get.

http://www.monkeybutler.com/Share/GL1200.jpg

I commute 50 miles each way to work and take it every day I can. I'm okay with the saddle but it has Markland aftermarket floorboards with are not the best when a lot of shifting or braking is involved. I'm going to put some pegs on it and see how I like it.

Considering this thing was new when I last rode I still consider it drool worthy.

It certainly is drool worthy. Problem is my seat sits to low for me and il riding right on my proverbial "butt bone"

I'm gong to stack cushions on it or find something else that sits higher.

Nice! I haven't heard the "word" Aspencade for years! When are you
going to turn that thing into a trike?
LOL. I doubt if I ever turn it into a trike. That's a really expensive procedure. But they do make a trike kit which is glorified training wheels for about any motor cycle, and they actually look good. and costs a tremendous amount less than a typical trike conversion. But I cant see one in my future...

http://www.2040-motos.com/_content/c...8/4358/007.jpg

I've never seen that type of conversion! It looks like they made an
attempt to hide the rear wheel. Imagine that on Harry's imaginary Ducati.
