Island Sightings

No, probably my buddy Tosh.  Black Dainese jacket vr46 carbon agv lid?

The jacket sounds right.  Couldn't tell you about the helmet.  I had gapped Gene a bit and was backing off pace. Saw some headlights coming up from behind and thought that Gene was ready to play a bit. So I was rolling a bit slow and "whoosh" the red Pani went by. I checked the mirrors and didn't see Gene so I thought I'd chase the Ducati. Started to catch up but he was going at a high pace and I knew if I kept that up I'd never see Gene at all. Interesting pace for the road conditions I thought. Was that the big Pani or an 899?

899.  We no need liters.   

[MadDuck]

Apparently not as he was quite fast.  I thought it might have been the 899 with the way he took some hairpins going up.  Don't think the 1199-1299 could do that but hey, I might be wrong about that. We should play sometime.

That was in a box outside in the parking lot 1 or 2 weeks ago.  Is the orange & white one on the floor too?

Yup, plus another orange & white one for a total of three...time for an overstocked sale...

[MadDuck]

They finally sold the RC8-R that was there for months.

And then added another one so that may have been the second orange & white bike. I only saw 2 SD's there on Saturday.

Maybe, when you get to my age sometimes everything looks the same...

I really only brought it up because there was a posting on my Facebook newsfeed that someone had bought the rc8r that was there and not the one on Craigslist. Then, lo & behold, there's an RC8R on the floor right away. Like they have them stashed in the back?    So there were 3 big KTM's lined up in a row and a couple of the smaller ones scattered about in the showroom.

I think this is the dude. He was MOVING. lol. This was on Aug 16.

I think there is also an 1190 Adventure tucked up against the wall by the Multistradas.

Where was that picture taken?  It looks familiar but I can't place it? 

[Speed 3 Pilot]

I think it's down the hill a bit from were we usually take our break, before the downhill 180...
