Funny.. We got snow.   ???  On the plus side, Snow never lasts in Albuquerque.  Great looking bike!  Hope your first day of spring was well ridden!
Sometimes when you say no, you really mean YES, that is why we have the safe word.. "FLÃœGGÃ...ÆŽNKâˆ,â,¬ÄŒHIÅ'βØL∫ÊN"  If at any time the pleasure is too much, simply say the safe word, and we will stop"


Dirty people say:
"yep.. Ducati makes a fine motorcycle.. If your into all that Crotchrocket Bulls@#t!"

The first day of Spring is my parents anniversary, 30th this year.  And where did they go to celebrate?  Bologna, Italy . . . with some stops in Calabria and Rome.

Crazy Texas spring weather!! [bang] Friday it was 72-74 degrees and beautifully sunny. Saturday it was 40+ degrees and raining with some snow pellets. Yesterday it was 34 and 2-3 inches of snow and a 40+mph wind. Tomorrow I'm going on a 275 mile ride with a friend and it will be back to 75 and sunny!! [roll]

It's time to dust them off and rack up some miles! [thumbsup] Mike-D, hope you enjoyed the ride... how could you not? [clap]

Nice bike!  Mine is nearly identical - but white wheels.

Those appear to be Arrow cans?  What did you do to eliminate the yellow plate?  I was thinking about drilling out the rivets removing and replacing with black rivets, but was a little concerned with discoloration?

Thansk.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. . .I still have some things I want to do--rearsets, Rizoma fluid reservoirs, an ohlins steering damper.

The ride was, to use Iamhybris's word, "glorious."  Low 70s and sunny with no wind.  The bike ran great and although the 175-mile ride helped to shake off some of the winter rust, there were a couple of instances in the curves where I indeed felt rusty.  Still, I can't wait for the next ride.
As for your question Tim, my Arrows did not come with the yellow plate riveted on the can--just a couple of stickers laying in the bottom of the box. 

Happy  [moto] everyone!

Seems your bike is always in the shop.  Why this time?

Ha! Not fair...

Getting all the parts I bought while in Iraq put on and having the suspension rebuilt.  I wasn't comfortable doing the suspension work myself.  It should be done real soon, I just need to give them a call.
