i didn't think ironhead was serious... but touche

 

LOL I didn't think he was serious either but ain't it funny that Buell actually sell's coffee??? I'm gonna have to stop in say hello to Erik and get a bag of beans. His band has played in my Bar a few times. Yeah Yeah I'm a Buell fan as well.

 

Ok....we need some better weather. I was not serious. Im here in the Great NorthWest. (Oregon) There are more Starbucks on every corner than Hookers! (Im trying to fix that btw...) We have several Large Ducati dealers here. Going to buy a Bike there is very similar to a "Spa" day......Lots of Dudes strutting around in freshly drycleaned 1pc suits if you catch my drift. It is also not uncommon to see a gaggle of Monsters, 10/1198's nicley lined up in front of a starbucks. I quick walkthrough and Odometer check shows many of them with less than 100 miles.....Thats alot of trips from the Paddock-Starbucks and Back! : ) I prefer the smell of race fuel and bits and pieces of my race tire stuck to my butt cheeks. Unfortunately.......neither of those are on the Starbucks menu........

 

ya, but you have dutch bros too! my sister is in grant's pass.... god damn, what i'd give to go for a ride out there! i had so much fun in the rental car out on those roads. you are truly spoiled!

but you do have a lot of rain the spring and a winter... so...

 

I hear ya Ironhead. I have HD's...... everywhere but I guess thats cause I live 25 minutes from there factory. So I have thousands of guys that are playin the roll like the Movie Wild Hogs. Dentist by day and rough tough biker by weekend.lol

 

Im North of Grants Pass in Salem. There are tons of fun roads to explore from our coastal range to 101 (Pacific Coast Hwy) across the whole State! Biggest Problem is our Boys in Blue (Oregon State troopers) and Elk.......Those 2 always seem to get in the way when you least expect it.....Motards were Invented for our Winter and Spring seasons!

 

At $28k before ttl for the Tricolore, why not buy 2 1000rr's?

 

going back to the original subject matter


last sentence from cycle world's first ride review

 

Ok....went to the Chicago IMS show. The CBR paint is just awesome. Thats all I can say for it. I sat on the pingale. Very narrow bike and I like it but the exhaust was kinda set up very busy and personally didn't like it. I've sat on the EBR before its ok. But ya know what?? The bike that is really narrow and for some reason with my 6ft 2inch height. The KTM 1190 was my favorite of the bunch. I just loved how it felt and now I just need to ride one.

 

i absolutely love that bike

i'd own one....





































































....if it had a different headlight
