Ride Thursday 75°


Dying Shadow

Recommended Posts

Yep good ride fellas. I'm thankful everyone walked away cause that "mishap" could have been a lot worse. If anyone sees anyone not wearing a helmet, send them to this thread cause I'll be posting some pics. Minor accident, but without that helmet I can't say for sure he'd have made it out alive. At the minimum it would have been a long hospital visit. I know witnessing that will keep me ATGATT indefinitely.

I had some bike trouble on the way home. Vibration coming from the engine....not sure what it is. Hopefully something I can fix myself though.

Anyways....good riding with you guys and hopefully the weather holds and we can do it again.

Was that Tricolore wrecked today 1 of only 99 in the US?

I ask because of this: http://motorcycles.yakaz.com/ducati-1098-tricolore-for-sale#lo=4&docid=016sfipdpvqm9m9r

Same bike year isn't it?

Edit: Hell.....that ad is from Springfield. If there are only 99 in the US that would mean around 2 per state. Good chance it's the same bike.

Thanks dude, much appreciated! I've always been drawn toward Yammy's and I don't know why. My year (2007) seemed to be one of the better years for the R1 so that's why I chose that one. Not a huge fan of the new ones to be honest. Maybe one day I'll trade her in but I've only had her for about a year and a half. Bought it with 2,000 miles on it and got a hell of a deal, so I think I'll hold on to her for quite some time. And keep her clean so she's always shiny.

And yes, very good ride on some of those roads today. Blitz and I did another few roads and I was home by 5. Not being on a bike hardly at all this year, and then doing about 8 hours on her today made my wrists a little sore. But I think we got a pretty good day before we have to put the bikes away for the winter. 55 and raining tomorrow and then it's all downhill next week. This is the time that I hate Ohio. I'm very happy we all got to get out one last time, except for the obvious mishap. Nice meeting even more of you guys. I look forward to more rides next season!
