Good lord, I'm afraid would squash my opponent like Kirsty Alley sittin' on a pack of soy soyce. :'( Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!!

Post by: Doctor Woodrow on May 21, 2009, 08:15:56 PM I'm supposed to get off work at 8pm so I plan on swinging by on my way home, at least to see the streetfighter. i kinda don't put a lot of stock in photos until I have seen something in real life. Sometimes it is better sometimes it is worse.

Dunno... I'll see Tom this weekend, so right now I'm leaning toward checkin' out the new Streetfighter. Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: scott_araujo on May 22, 2009, 06:39:40 AM I'd like to go but I hate the crowd, all those people, I.... Oh wait, that's you guys.
I may be there, gotta see what's on the social calendar. Scott Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: scott_araujo on May 23, 2009, 09:55:10 AM Nice bike. A little busy but does look better in person than in pictures. Sounded wicked. Full 1098 engine, no detuning. The only differences are the vacuum cast block, the engine is 6# lighter largely because of that, some styling pieces, and a different airbox. The airbox is smaller so top HP is down to 155 from 160 on the 1098.
I saw John & Ryan there. I caught a glimpse of Dan as we were driving away. Scott Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: duc_fan on May 24, 2009, 05:26:10 PM Yeah, turned out my bro's plane was runnin' late, so I showed up and checked out the new bike.
Pics were kinda so-so, but... Dang! :o (http://sc.tri-bit.com/images/9/93/67ZQ7TS5KTL47Y2LQPFE7YODQMCEMK4O.jpeg) Doesn't hurt that it fits my lanky frame better than preceding Monsters. In person, it looks totally wicked. With that short Termi system, it sounded incredible. [evil] I'd buy one if I was in the market for a nekkid streetbike. Right now though, I need to figure out where I'm going to live in relation to work, and what sort of dirt/adventure bike is best suited to the commute. Aaaaaand.... I still need a Fuglystrada. Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: ryandalling on May 24, 2009, 09:02:11 PM I fellin love with the fuglystrada after riding it...
Hey... did any body notice a serious lack of sumo suits???? Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: scott_araujo on May 25, 2009, 05:14:54 AM Yeah. Thought that might have been since I left early. Good event regardless.
Scott Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: desmosome on May 25, 2009, 10:38:03 AM i missed the sumo suit also...
but the event was fun w/o it Title: Re: Friday May 22nd... Ducati Streetfighter Party & SUMO SUITS!! Post by: Doctor Woodrow on May 25, 2009, 05:12:54 PM I was there for a while, saw JohnnyDucati and Ryan Dalling and his wife. I don't really recognize anybody else much because I haven't seen many of you in person. I swung by Maurice and Cierra's place to see them and the baby on my way home.
The Streetfighter looks great, I couldn't find much that I would want change on it. I did notice though that they chose to take the mirrors off befor ethey unveiled it, verybody knows those things look like crap. Why don't they just come witout mirrors, and then you just chose something you like when you buy it? The Doc |
