A Daytona "R" ? Really? That warrants more investigation. And then it's hard to get past the killer good looks of white body work on a red frame, or seat sub-frame in this case. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

The Daytona R is supposed to be at the Milan show next month. Now the question. Revisit Triumph with the better suspension package but still the smaller engine or go the big balls route with the F4 or the Aprilia?  |

News report said Kailua bound on the Pali. New photos showed scenes from either Old Pali Road or on the way up to the Pali Lookout if you came out of the tunnels townbound and had to do the right turn cut back up to the lookout. Good thing no fatality this time but the group had the same sort of look. Leather vests with long sleeved T's. Dunno. |

WWII German look alike helmets, tennies, at least one guy in shorts...not exactly dressed for the unexpected...  |
