yours is better

Not Obie's. In fact it could even be an '07. It has the radial valves but is not the 312 (?) version. It belongs to a guy named Bobbie who also has a yellow 1098 and an Aprilia SuperMoto (the small displacement v-twin racer). Turns out the MV sat unsold in a Minnestoa dealership until last year when a Navy sort bought it. Well, the kid got into a financial bind and Bobbie was able to pick it up for some sort of cash/trade deal. Only has about 1500 miles on it. Absolutely beautiful but the throttle bodies are already showing some corrosion like the bike was parked outside uncovered for a while.

As for Milan, I think it was front & back. 

yeah it was an 07 and the throttle bodies jumped out screaming for some attention. but it was a nice bike and sounded amazing.

Diavel Carbon at SSD this morning...little too bulky for my taste, kinda reminds me of the Incredible Hulk...

i wonder if i can test ride it for the next few days till my parts get in

Got a good close up look at a nicely modded S1000RR at work today. Full Taylormade exhaust with full carbon belly undercover on the fairing. Carbon wrap arounds on the tank and under the seat. Custom stitched seat, etc. etc. Was offered a ride on it but I told the guy I'd have to take it over Tantalus. He said he meant around the block. I said thanks but been there done that.

I saw one of those Evo 848's (Arctic White w/ red rims) parked outside the Long's-Safeway at Pali the other morning. Had the fairing side panels off for some reason. I'm not fond of them either.

That's my bike, I was working overnights at long's for the week.  I was putting in a shorai batery, O2 optimizer, and a scorpio sr-1100 alarm.

I think I haphazardly introduced myself to a duc ride this morning.  I was squidding it sunday morning (I live 2 blocks from Ward Starbucks).  Hope you guys had a safe ride.

It's a ride but not exactly a Ducati ride. There just happened to be an extra amount of Ducs there today. There are days where Ducs are in the minority. Everyone was safe today. Thanks for that!

Haha, my only plans today were to get coffee/breakfast but after seeing all the bikes out I went home, geared up, and hit Tanalus and new/old Pali a couple times.

No confirmation from anyone else yet but 0900 to 0930 should be about right.

I was at the shop. Twice in fact. 10:30 to 1pm. Out to get safety check done on Hyper. Back a little after 1400 and then out around 1500 to 1530 thereabouts I reckon. zoom zoom
