Picture of my baby before I had to sell her to get my house. http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?i...scf0273dd7.jpg

I miss her so much.... 04 Ducati 800SS I will be a Duc owner again. Mark my words!

Picture taken on Ocean Highway in Laguna Beach when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton CA. I loved running those canyons out there.

 

you will get another Duc im sure,,,

once you have that KaChunk KaChunk KaChunk sound of the exhaust and clutch in your chest, it is hard to get away from.

 

very cool set up,,

i love the ride of the daytona,,,i would place that 3rd on my list of bikes to acquire. a 999R would be 1 and a aprillia rsv1000r would be 2.

i still have not got back into the looks of the new 1098 and 848 ducs. i know i am not on the bandwagon,,,

 

'00 Buell Cyclone in molten orange... with the X-1 front end.

It's a lot of fun. Huge torque off the line, and handles great in the curves with the short wheelbase. I changed quite a bit of the stock configuration.... put inverted forks from and X-1 (revalved for a stiffer ride), clip on handle bars, bar end mirrors, and cleaned up all the turn signal/lisence plate silliness that comes from the factory. K&N filter.... no more factory bread-box...

Basically stripped the non essentials....

I have a good friend who had a Ducati Monster... I'd always beat him off the line, but he had edgethe higher end (+100 MPH). If I remember right, he had a 6th gear, which the Buell could have used.

Spent a bit of time on a track with it... definitely a great bike for cornering.

I really like the simplicity of the V-Twin. Easy to work and on get to everything without a lot of plastic to remove.....

I'll try to find pics....
