Hey Colorado Springs Ducati Riders and non Ducati Riders.  Sun Powersports located in Motorcity in Colorado Springs will be sponsoring the Distinguished Genteman's Ride  (DGR) on May 17.  The Distinguished Genteman's Ride is a fund raiser for men's health issues.  This event takes place around the world.  Here is the link.

Hope to see you there.

Gladys was the preacher's wife and accompanied her husband each Sunday to church.

One particular Sunday when the sermon seemed to go on forever, many in the congregation fell asleep.

After the service, to be sociable, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman. In an attempt to revive him from his stupor, she extended her hand in greeting, and said, "Hello, I'm Gladys Dunn."

To which the gentleman replied, "You're not the only one!"

Quote from: Monsterlover on Yesterday at 01:23:57 PMNo, it was just a gearing result. The numbers looked good on paper but in reality weren't.

The first gear in my transmission is 2.6 something to one. I really need like a four-point something to one.

It takes a significant amount of slip to get this thing rolling. More than I like.

So I'm giving up some top end for about 15% easier starting from a stop.
