I do wonder what Ducati has in store for the 849!

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.

Returned to my real world in Waikiki. The weekend escape to the North Shore was worthwhile and very relaxing. Now...off to download the WSBK race!  |

Reloaded the matrix and rolled it down the snake. Much better machine today with the revamped rear shock. I was worried the new spring would be too much but it feels much better. Monoposto conversion feels a bit odd as the weight loss is definitely noticeable.

'07 S4RS and '04 998 Matrix. Because sometimes I feel like a monster, and sometimes I don't.

Yesterday: Went for what turned out to be a 300(ish) mile ride out through western VA and found some AMAZING new (to me) roads just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Was hoping to map the route, but the GPS on my phone took a crap on me.

Yep, sure was. I'd be willing to do that sort of distance on the SC, but it's up on stands for now. |

Carlos I said I was smart, never that I had my shit together Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." |

You'll have to show me around the fun roads once I get back to the DC area next summer. We just drove up from Old Town Alexandria upto Thunderbolt for CSS. It felt refreshing to be able to drive through multiple state-lines and consistently drive 70'ish MPH! We made a mini-road trip out of it and did a little shopping in Arundel, MD. |

That's three tanks of gas for most any of our bikes.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.
