Ah Doc, I am looking forward to having one of these as well.

I have been sadly missing my S4RS and way too busy at work so the new Strada will be a welcome addition.

Who is this strange man called R_usty???????

How the hell are you, guess you've been run off your feet running holiday land up there.
I heard this week that your old girl got written off less than a few months after it's new owner took possession?

So you're gonna buy a Multi-noodle to replace then hey.

  [clap] [clap] [clap] had a look at a copy of amc today and read the write up on the sf the only thing that would worry me is that radiator so low down with the crap on the roads around here it wouldnt last long and no screen the stroodle looks heaps better the only thing that diiapoints on the stroodle is the exhaust i liked the under seat one  [thumbsup]


Title: Re: I dont miss my Multi anymore

Agree re the exhaust. But somebody will make an after market one (Zard perhaps...  [roll] )....

Must say that I prefer the low stumpy ones shown on the Stroodle over the pregnant cannons on the SF....  [bang]

Title: Re: I dont miss my Multi anymore
Post by: Spider on August 06, 2009, 01:57:39 PM
I think he's just excited over the heated handgrips...and the massaging saddle...and the little voice saying "BMW: yes sir, in fact you DO own the roads"....


Title: Re: I dont miss my Multi anymore
Post by: Dannog on August 06, 2009, 02:11:14 PM
Rusty, I know that if I had have gotten your baby it would have still been around.

How in considerate of them to have totaled it. Hope the guy didn't get too hurt .... ouch!

have a close look at the length-of-leg to height-off-ground ratio.

I'd like to see an attempt to get it on the centre stand from Dock. that might be entertaining!


Title: Re: I dont miss my Multi anymore
Post by: Spider on August 07, 2009, 01:27:47 PM
Vince, I think that bike is like one of the rides at Dreamworld, you have to be THIS tall to take this ride!

I'll swap you legs though mate....I sat on 848,1098 and SF on Thursday....it was comical.


Title: Re: I dont miss my Multi anymore
Post by: Dockstrada on August 07, 2009, 05:16:43 PM
Fortunately Ducat's are modeled around people like me so I cant complain,as for the BMW not for me ;D

Although Pigmy has eye's for them. But I think he will be needing this for a gracefull dismount.

I read a story about that...spent the whole time thinking "why can't he just buy a Porsche Boxster like everyone else that's a bit on the small side"

truly horrific what they go through for the extra inches

Anybody of the older persuasion (  ;D ) remember an Oz national proddy racer called Buster Saunders???

He is a dwarf and watching him stand next to his RGV on the start line waiting for the drop of the flag was hilarious.  [laugh]

The flag would drop and he would dump the clutch and do a rodeo cowboy flick up into the saddle and away he would go!!  :o He was pretty quick too.

Footpegs were reattached about 400mm higher than original.

What a bloody character he was. Good racer, but better at drinking  [beer].
