Blitz Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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.

Howabusa Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Good day of riding. Nice to meet some new riders. I got home about 5 pm, total of 300 miles. Sucks that the Ducati got crashed. How much is that 1098 worth anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) 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=016sfipdpvqm9m9rSame 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. Edited October 26, 2012 by Blitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay848 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not the same one, it came from Texas. Thought there were more than 99 in US, but still yes they were limited to the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamNofR1 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 your bike was my favorite that showed up...the ducks were pretty, but damn that thing is nice....thats my favorite body style tooi was half tempted to steal it and never come back...so much want!...someday lolmaybe next year once i get settled i will get one.....i told steph i wanna buy one and she can ride the vfr....she loved that idea lol....win/win...keep vfr for her to ride, and for long rides....get r1 for new daily 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!

Hydroboy35th Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 It was definitely an awesome ride today minus the obvious, It was also nice meeting some new people we'll have to do this again sometime hopefully Mother Nature will play nice and give us one more 79 degree day before the winter gets here.
