  1. When this thread first got going, I was shocked because nobody looked like how I pictured them.

    Same here. Funny how the brain creates an image, presumably based on screen name, content of posts, tone/language...

    a flexing twinkie.... it all makes sense now.

    Except for that one...Exactly as I had pictured..! :D

  2. Confidence has been a tough issue for me.

    It took me a while to get past self-preservation instincts to start trusting the grip of the tires and capabilities of the machine. Things were finally starting to click for me earlier this season and I was feeling better about going faster and carrying more speed into/through the corners...

    Then I had a set-back in July when another rider tried to pass me too late going into T1 at MO...As I tipped into the turn, I found myself literally laying onto/into another bike. Felt tangled for a moment, got stood up trying to save myself, and ultimately wasn't able to make the bike finish the turn. Went horizontal as soon as the front hit the grass.

    Now my lack of confidence is no longer with the bike, but in trusting the other riders...Now I get the heebie-jeebies going into some of the corners, expecting someone to run up my inside. Was getting better, though.

  3. What to look out for?

    Got an offer for my Tuono though apriliaforum...Asked if I'd be willing to ship if he made the arrangements (New York). Having never dealt w/ selling/shipping a vehicle long distance, what are some red-flags to watch out for, or insistence to make on my part?

    apriliaforum is very similar community to O-R, just marque-specific and international. This guy has a 1-year, 77 post history there...

  4. ...these pics are going to make me sell my kidney...

    I see three winners in that scenario :D

    ...but I'd be sad when it got dirty.

    ...But then you would get to clean it ;)<shivers>

    I would probably just rub against it inappropriately.

    ...or that :o

    I know it's been said before...but that thing is GORGEOUS!!!

    I want to buy it and put it in my living room and just stare at it!

    Thanks...! It is for sale, you know...:cool:

  5. ...I still plan on riding in to vote come Nov 6. Have done so for the past 5 yrs.

    Looks like 'one of these years' is this year. :cool:

    Semantic joke...Your original post sounded like you have shown up to vote on Nov. 6 for the past five years...;)
