I went to the dark side. Got me a spankin' '06 Multistrada 1000ds S. All the shiny bits, fully "farkled," as they say.

Damn! This mother handles great and moves. Sure, it's kind of a grandpa bike with the saddlebags, etc, but I make the beast with two backsin' love it!  [evil] The most confident bike I've ever owned or even ridden.

Just crappy phone pics for now...

She'll be driftin' bikes by the time she's 10 (in her pajamas, none the less).  [evil]  Nice choice of pillion...  [laugh]

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

It is a step in the right direction...



Who was the lucky one that got to ride it home for your busted up ass?

Very nice!  [thumbsup]

Now to take it out and get it really dirty!  ;D
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Congrats!  Did you keep the monster too?

GREAT commuter bike!
If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

Generally if it's done safely I see no problem with it.  I didn't see the video so I can't comment on that.

I sold my Monster shortly after getting the 'strada.  The Monster was sexier, but the 'strada was just...better.  :o

Nice ride!  [thumbsup]

Yep. Well stated. My gf is looking to buy the monster. I don't think I'll need anything else other than the Multi for a while.  ;D

That road is in Northern Italy somewhere. Those guys are screwing around for sure, but it nicely showcases the abilities of a well-ridden Multi.


Bick, I rode it home myself.  [cheeky] Then put another 200ish miles on her.  ;D

She needs a bath, the dirty girl. And a good name...

We'll have to go ride the tall bikes sometime.  :D  Trailridge?
