redkow97 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Never owned anything rare, but I've had some close encounters with a couple cool bikes:1968 Norton Commando 750. My ex's parents had a friend in CA who restored it. Had it up to 95 with me riding bitch! It burned just a little bit of oil until it warmed up, and then ran flawlessly.2008/09(?) Ducati Desmosedici. It was right when they had first come out, and some guy had it at my 3rd & 4th trackday ever. This was at BeaveRun in early May of 2008. He was really cool about people dropping by the garage to eye the bike up. I guess anyone willing to actually RIDE something that expensive at any kind of pace probably figures "they can't screw it up by looking at it."I saw a cool MV at Mid-Ohio last year too. The one that's in 'The Dark Knight.' The M4 or something? I never looked up the model. The little engineering 'differences' are what make MV's kind of neat to me. Things like the front axle releasing through the bottom of hinged forks rather than sliding out the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I remember the Desmo at Beaver, he really wasn't taking it easy on that thing either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I remember the Desmo at Beaver, he really wasn't taking it easy on that thing either.I thought I overheard someone say that it actually belonged to a friend of his. The owner was there, but not riding the bike. I need friends like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I had an '85 Honda VF1000F that I ended up having to sell after losing my job back in 2001. Had never seen another one in person until Mid-Ohio races last year somebody rode one in. Spent almost 20 minutes staring at it trying to figure out if it was my old one or not, don't think it was. I couldn't find any of the scratches I knew mine had. My current bike, the Ducati SportClassic is not quite as rare but still something that you almost never see anywhere. I know of at least 6 in Columbus but only 1 other in the same color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and a turbocharged Honda CBX. I could only wish to have ridden or owned either machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
