Curious how you find the lean angle on that unit. I guess we'll find out Saturday! My demo ride didnt end well back in the day.. they weren't happy about the radiator grille and foot pegs being ground down!

I'd be willing to do sweep for med/fast....but this is my first OR rodeo, so whatever works for everyone.!

Sorry if covered previously....Is the route available as a GPS file (.GPX, etc?) Thanks

Here ya go....dropped right on your lap!

It's like Michael Schumacher all over...spends his entire career at the extreme limits, yet his life is practically ended by some freak accident.

Either way, it has relevance to this forum because; 1. It's Motorcycle-related 2. Nicky is from next-door Kentucky 3. It still freaking sucks. 4. As What said above, the USA is poorly represented on the roadracing stage, with the other possible exception of PJ Jacobsen. 5. Nicky supported some good local causes/charities.

A lot less comfy than the std SV, but it does have a small screen. I'd personally recommend the SV over any inline 4 for a newbie. Much more usable and forgiving torque band. And for someone as tall as the OP, I'd still recommend the Vstrom. Same engine, and super easy to ride.

Is that human hair poking out the top of your box? Severed head perhaps?

And what about the lazy old Honda ST1300.? I've heard a few that have been piped and tuned...sound awesome!

That's gotta be way past $30k, yes? As i remember, when new they were in the $80-90K range?! If you want a real V4 exotic, get thee a NR750 oval piston Honda (RC40)! Hey, there's always a Vmax, or a RoyalStar for if you need a cheep V4 fix!

Covers scratches...

+1 on the gas stops.....I'll probably have to leave my 8 gallon fuel tank below half to keep up with this crowd!

Yes....I miss my VFR!

At the very least, it will make her (him) look better.

I'll take the white one, thank you very much!

Real race bikes don't have kickstands!!!

Speaking of Demo rides....anyone had a chance to demo a Motus? I see they now have them at Northern Ohio dealer in Akron, as well as MotOhio out of Columbus. Looks pretty sweet on paper! Not sure it's $30K sweet, but sweet nonetheless. http://www.northernohioducatiandtriumph.com/inventory/v1/Current/Motus/Motorcycle/Motorcycles/2017-MST/Base--Akron-Ohio---4982761

Rained out??? Get some raingear and get out there!

Welcome KC...lets see your ride!

Older Ducati's had this for decades....i think it was a method to increase their left body panel and clutch lever sales.

That's not paint! ....It's extra-grip spray! Sold next to the turn signal fluid.

That's nuts!
