dumbest question about your bike

[DarkMonster620]

You're saying a Multistrada with a DP Touring windscreen is a chopper?!

Are you making some sort of distinction between an L configuration and a V configuration? Where would a Moto Guzzi Norge fit?

Incidentally, I always think of the typical chopper as having no fairings at all, no windscreen, and being utterly useless for touring.

I wont argue with you ... YOU'RE RIGHT !!!

But I said, today's kids, now I must correct myself and say 'today's 3rd world kids ..." better?

According to Navy regulation, our Monsters are in fact sport bikes and not standards. 

Yeah, well, I'm not in the Navy anymore. 

[Howie]

As I remember back in '92 when the Monster was introduced to the public it was called a "naked sport bike"  As compared to most standards it was lighter, with more lean angle and a rather steep front geometry plus big Brembo brakes off the Superbike and a more aggressive riding position than most standards of similar displacement.

  Not to change the discussion.... had a couple "Racebike builders" ask Me " If Ducati is so high performance, why would they run two cylinders out one exhaust??"....I burst out laughing, as We were in a good sized biking crowd, and had to explain the dual spark ignition system. I think They are still wondering...    I was on My MTS1100.

Que?

[stopintime]

Que?

Twin parallel horizontal cylinders, one spark plug for each, but only one exhaust outlet 

[KRJ]

  Yeah, They thought that because it has 4 plugs it has to be a 4 cylinder...that should exhaust with 4 pipes.....

I don't know if this was the dumbest question but..

Last Friday night in Oldtown Scottsdale.


"Is that a Ducati?"

"Yes"

"Cool..wanna do some cocaine?"


WTF?! Haven't heard that one yet. 

Crazy thing..it was 8pm and she was hot chick who appeared to be perfectly sober.



**I just told the s/o and she said she doesn't want me riding that bike around there anymore.   

[sbrguy]

There's a lot of money in Scottsdale.

For some reason, whenever there's a lot of money somewhere, there are also a lot of really hot chicks.

From a stricktly scientific point of view, this corrolation proves nothing.

Yeah, right.

Funny thing is, some Harley's had a twin spark head IIRC ~
