Asked my better half if it was feasible to upgrade my 620. She said yes. 

But also said that she would like me to buy a ute as she doesn't want me to continue riding to work every day. Was also thinking of getting a diesel Hilux, she doesn't like them. 

XR6/8 or SS?

I keep thinking will I change badges and get a trumpet but I can't see it. It would probably be a S2R 1K, who knows.

I do like the Hilux, but the other 2 are faster.

Lightburn Zeta Ute.

It will make the bike seem comfortable and safe. It may not be quick, but reverse has potential.

[Jukie]

I will be Melbourne from Tues 5th May until Monday 11th May.  I am doing a course so will be pretty busy but I do have free time during the day on Wed-Fri as course starts at 6pm those days (but all day Sat/Sun - bummer).  Planning on riding the bike in so if anyone wants to catch up or go for a ride on those days give me a call.

How cool is this story 

http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news.html

 


Rookie sensation Ben Spies has been pleasantly surprised by the warm reception he's received in the World Superbike paddock so far in 2009. He's met many new people in the series, some have which have become fast friends. Surprisingly it was new rival Nori Haga and his family who were some of the first to make Spies feel welcome. One little guy who warmed up to Ben immediately is Haga's five-year-old son Ryota.



Ben and Ryota's friendship was put to the test however in the most recent World Superbike event at Assen in the Netherlands. In the first race at Assen's legendary TT circuit Spies and Ryota's dad had one of the best last-lap battles in recent World Superbike memory and it was Spies coming out on top with a daring high-speed pass with three turns to go.



Now Ryota likes Ben and thinks he's cool and all, but he loves his father and is his dad's number one fan. He wasn't at all happy that "The Ben", as Ryota calls Spies, took what seemed like certain victory away from his dad in that first race. As the Hagas walked down pit lane past the Yamaha garage on the way to the podium after race one, Ben's mother Mary noticed little Ryota crying his eyes out. Mary asked him what was wrong. He looked up at Mary, obviously frustrated, and said "My daddy is a loser and I don't like the Ben!" With that little Ryota, still crying, quickly turned away from Mary and went to see dad.


Things went much better for Haga in Assen's second race, but much worse for "The Ben". Spies crashed hard while leading at the start of the second lap. Haga went on to victory, extending his championship points lead.



Late that afternoon Spies was sitting alone in his motor coach, a little beat up physically from the crash, but mainly upset with himself for letting his team down. Mary stood outside the coach letting Ben have some quiet time. She was answering text messages on her cell phone when she saw little Ryota knocking on the coach door. He had some of his friends with him. Mary walked over and asked Ryota if she could help him. He said "I want to see the Ben." Mary said, "But I thought you didn't like Ben?" "I do like the Ben and he is hurt. I want to talk to him," Ryota demanded.


So Mary cracked the door to ask Ben if he would see the kids. Ben, still smarting from his race crash, was trying to beg off the visitors when suddenly little Ryota, perhaps taking after his dad, saw his opportunity and before you knew it edged his way past Mary through the slightly opened door and ran up to Ben. "The Ben is hurt. Show me where you are hurt!" Ryota said with concern to Spies.


Soon the other children that were with Ryota flooded in and gathered around Ben. Spies sat up and started talking with them. One of the little girls in the group had a cast on her arm. Ben asked her what happened. She'd fallen off a horse. When Ben told her she was brave for riding a horse and that he was scared of horses the little gang burst into laughter. So a friendship that was put to the test at Assen was restored by the end of the day. Even though Ryota likes it when his dad wins, little Haga still thinks "The Ben" is at least the second coolest rider in the paddock.

Hello, my name is Ungeheuer and I'm a Ducati bling addict.

Nobody warned me.  I thought having a new Ducati would be enough..... but that was just the beginning...  Oh, sure I started innocently enough... some Rizoma bar-ends... no harm in that, surely.  Then the grips. Then the DP touring seat.... ooohhh that red stitching....  I gotta have.  Yeah well Pazzo levers... they're a necessity really, aren't they? 

Termis?  C'mon....  how can I ride my Duc around without Termis??  Had to have.  And Rizoma mirrors look too cool to not have.....

And when the hell are so-called SpeedyMoto gonna ship me my billet clip-ons and top-triple.... man I NEED these things.... been waiting a month.... gotta have 'em, dagnabbit!!  They just don't understand the pain that I endure while I wait..... 

And I see that there's a range of cool lookin rear-sets coming out soon.  Obviously I need  them too.  Just like I need  some of those oh-so-sexy Rizoma timing belt covers..... to go with the cam-cover bling..... 

But then that'll be it.  My credit card will sigh a sigh of relief and Duc Project Bling will be complete.  I'll be fine. 

Honest.

There, there.  It's okay.  Just take a deep breath.  Close your eyes.  It's okay. We all believe you.  It's okay.  You are completely normal.   Breathe.
