Scheduled for my safety check and 22.5K service for 10/18 drop off, so I will be riding this weekend and not next weekend. Time to pay $$$.

All the Ducati's made the 1290SDR possible!

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.

Thinkin' about ordering a pair of Held Phantom IIs from these guys, can't beat this price and shipping via DHL is only $20. http://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/sec5fb05ac05b/?ObjectPath=/Shops/10207048/Products/Held-Phantom-II/SubProducts/Held-Phantom-II-0023The Held Thrux EVOs that I sent back fit well, except for the thumbs...I would be taking a chance on the fit because if I don't like them, I sure the return shipping would be about $40. So has anyone had any dealing with FC-Moto?...reviews are mixed, but leaning towards positive. |

How does 199€ work out in $? I got my Helds from Sportbiketrackgear when I was still on island. They shipped fast, and offered me a free return if the size wasn't right. Have you looked into them at all? They've got the PhantomII for $300.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
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.

Return shipping will be a pregnant dog though, if it comes to that... |

Ordered the Held Phantom IIs from Revzilla...wanted so much to save the $65 by ordering them from FC-Moto, but didn't want to chance having to send them back at International shipping rates...
Btw, if you know your size you can save $$$ on other brands from FC-Moto besides Held...A-Stars GP Pros are $220 shipped to Hawaii.

Ordered a pair of Dainese Druids STs a week or so ago, Brown delivered them today and they may be keepers...they fit pretty good however they may need a minor modification, but that I won't know until I use them on a ride...

Quick ride to the snake and back this morning, stopped at South Seas on the way home. One each RC8 and 690 Duke on the floor, 1290SDs in crates in the back...purportedly...

They actually brought in a 690! I bet they had to as part of the dealer agreement. Now for that little 390 racer.  |

Rick, find a way to test an RC8 (without Bill and his scooter) and let me know what you think.
