  1. Do all girls from California know about Italian sportbikes? If so I may need to move there.

    I had a friend who had two ducatis (monster and 969), two aprillias (tuono and rsvr) and two dirt bikes. He literally didn't have enough time to keep them all ridden so as a "favor" I would take them out from time to time. Amazingly, he wasn't super skilled on a bike. Who knows why he had so many. He had trouble keeping up with me on the tuono when I still had my rebel 250.

  2. Sorry to hear you had problems. What was wrong? Im going to assume ststor, vr, or something along those lines?

    2009s ate stators like candy. No fix. We went through more than one I believe. Plus we also had trouble with the throttle bodies binding because someone wasn't careful enough about putting the airbox back, and no one could figure it out for the longest time. Valve checks required dropping the engine...In general the trouble was finding someone who could work on it; even buell specialists had no idea how to deal with the thing. We went to every HD dealership within about 150 miles of San Francisco.

    But yeah, the bike was a blast in the best of times. Eventually he sold it for the XB12; most all the fun and none of the hassle.
