I`m suprised that you don`t have many Ducati over there. They are popular it seems here. Very light and quick of the mark. Mine was a 600ss .Red obviously. they are a good track bike, but our roads are not really the ideal place to ride them. They are not very good in heavy traffic on tight corners or traffic islands. A bit too much throttle and you are I on one wheel. I`ll put a picture on when I figure out how to do it. I know it`s easy HA HA or supposed to be.

I think maybe the pricing. In my research, it looks like Duc sold about 10k bikes here in 2007 and it was a good year. I think Honda sold like 500k+ or something... lol..
I did actually see a couple Ducs here a few weeks ago, but its a pretty rare occurrence (at least where I'm at).

BTW ...dunno why om picking on Shadow (Pete ) ATM
I know why. But I'm not gonna say....

Just checked the poll...you know the one fellas, the one this thread is about. Since I last checked there's one in the 'teen' section. F'n cool to have that many horses and no fear at all! Insurance must be $$$$. I'd have killed myself for sure..Z650 was nearly the end of me several times.

Show yourself, teen! (or we will be forced to disregard the vote as a statistical outlier!!!!!!) hehe

I went fishing on the weekend and had no luck, but I knew I'd get a bite here .

Who is this unknown teen with the huge insurance bill?

Maybe somebody thought the thread was about their mental age...that could explain it too.

Hmmm, I can narrow it down to about a dozen (myself included), but then I'm spoiled for choice around here .

Back on topic though, I notice 70 people have voted in the poll. That's pretty cool, and what's really cool is that we're all over the place. It'd be nice to have a world map with dots and names on it so we knew who and where we all were...any ideas?
