From the lawn at Pebble Beach last Sunday before the Concours. From my son's Blackberry as he was working the event.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'm PD sure those are Campagnolo magnesium wheels as I was going to buy a set from Reno until he told me that they had a "sell by date" of at best three years. Reno is an honest guy!

Looks like it was custom made. Here is where I saw it.

Ah, yeah..  The FPS and Campagnolos were identical.  I have a set of the FPS on my Darmah, they look the same, just a bit closer to new...

That looks really nice.  Well, except for the headlight.   Grin  Funny though, as I think the headlight looks better on this bike than it does on the new gen monsters.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

FYI

As "unusual" as that headlight looks, some fairly extensive wind tunnel work must have been done on that unit, combined with the new-style bikini fairing and mirrors. I first noted this when I test-rode a 696 and had fogotten my ear plugs. My Schuberth helmet (C1 = Concept) had become almost silent at 65 MPH. Amazing!

For the last couple of years I've been tooting around on a T-100 Bonneville. Now, I'm 5' 8+", but my son who is 6' 3" and wears a C2 noticed the same thing when he first rode my 796. Almost silent! The buffeting on the T-100 can also be pretty severe at 70 MPH. On the 796 I'm not even getting half that much buffeting at 90 MPH, which is as fast as I've been while it's still bedding in.
