Oh this bike has some quirks but it's 33 years old too. Nothing that

off maybe another hundred miles tonight. I love it!

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.

I don't transport mine in anything. I ride them. But I can see where
putting a Ducati on the back of a pick up truck can be the thing to do,
especially if you want to make some sort of a statement.

Last time my bike rode in the back of the van, was it's last ride. Ride
home from the side of the freeway. Blown engine, split barrel, hosed.

Ewww, ****. That doesn't sound like fun!

Luckily everything broke and did not lock up the motor. Bike gave a little
jerk and lost power. Rod broke, so bike kept rolling. Guy on a big Yamaha
stopped and gave me a ride the last 5 miles or so home. Mine was a Kawa
350 rotary valve. Small 2 cylinder version of the H1.
