Patience, people. I've been buried in the "merriment" of the season... plus trying to put together - AGAIN - my poor ol' 999
I've only been able to ride the '04 Multi on 455 for a couple of hours then Alan and I did the Muenster Run today, so about six hours of seat time total. All told, though, I love it. It's like riding a big ass 1000cc dirt bike; lots of suspension travel, plenty of counter steering, and a sit straight up riding position (totally different riding style to the SBK). Plus it's got a dry clutch, is air cooled, has plenty of torque... and the front end *can* come up when you really get on it. And then there's the full Termi system with ECU. Gas mileage
really sucks. Who knew? And a DP Comfort saddle. All just makes you want to take a long trip. To Alaska, maybe.
So what's not to love
Oh, and it's got hard bags. I put my helmet and back protector in one hard bag today when we stopped for lunch, and my jacket and gloves and some other stuff in the other. Very useful. Almost
practical... I think "Multistrada" must be Italian for Jeep
It's supposed to be rainy and cold tomorrow so I'll spend some quality time in the garage cleaning up the bike and take a few pictures.
LYD, you're always welcome over here - send us a text, come on over and give the two Multis a spin. They rock
