Title: Close encounter with The Beast
Post by: Michael Moore on May 11, 2008, 09:00:37 AM
I got to sit on, and blip the throttle of, a Desmoseidici yesterday.  Oh. My. God.

The thing is pure evil. It scares me just to look at it, and when you hear it in person (and I only cracked it open to 5K) you want to run to your Momma. Even with all the insurance in the world there's no way I would ever ride that thing. Holy hell.

That sounds like the sort of bike that, at least in my case, the throttle bodies would open in time with my sphincter  :o

Well I saw one in person and the sound was deafening.

Apparently if you don't own one they only let really hot chicks sit on it and rev the engine.  :P

You must have looked mighty fine that day Micheal  ;D
