Nice bike Jason. I had a 900SD Darmah years ago and I loved it but I have always regretted parting with my Motto Guzzi Le Mans MKIII.

Congrats Jason and Nick! Might I suggest some nice Arrows or Termi's for those puppies.

Come out to the Bay Area sometime and I'll show you all the good backroads!

Scot-

The 750 comes with dual front calipers and oil cooler. The 600 does not. This is Jason's first bike- the last thing we need is Jason on a nuttier bike that'll tempt him...

Hey Loki-

Nice bike! You unleashed the monster out of that RC51 yet? I'm coming out to the Bay area at the end of the year- Speed Trial USA has a weekend at Mazda (gee it hurts to say that name) Speedway. And- you know S2KDays is only 350 days away. We'll bring some of the toys out there if we can get them in someone's trailer...

We're looking into some Arrows or Leo Vinci's. I heard the LV's on another Monster at the shop and they sounded good. The stock jetting sucks ass, so that'll be the crowning touch on this bike- can you imagine crappy jetting with a pipe?!?! But one thing's for certain, we have to make sure they don't look the same! I actually looked at the 51 too- but I think it's too much bike for me, and out of my price range. I know my limits!

Thanks everyone! I love it, but this weather is killing me - ever since I picked up the bike, this damn low pressure system has been stalled above us. Arrgh!

I'll probably add the other front brake eventually... however I've already locked the front wheel up (accidentally) so I know there is plenty of stopping power. They are very light bikes.

Loki, I'd love to bomb some back roads with you in that area... you'd just have to stop and let us catch up every once in a while!

Pipes and jet-kit are all I plan on doing... maybe a carbon front fender. Nick's gotta do a whole bunch of stuff so his looks different than mine. Plus, It's a Nick vehicle... it can't look stock!

I'm off to check the weather!

Jason, now that you've got a new helmet maybe you can quit wearing that beat up old snell 90 at the races!

Juliann, when you fix the Guzzi I want a picture of you straddling both of them at the same time. Leather optional.

No bikes or small planes for me. I go apeshit crazy with both and it didn't take me long to figure out that I'd kill myself with either.

I love my Titanium Arrows, the build quality is impeccable, I highly recommend them if you're considering it... Got the Power Commander II since my bike is FI, makes tuning it super easy!

Definitely let me know if you guys bring the bikes out here, unfortunately I won't have a S2000 then. But should still have the RC

Wow, check this monster out... S4 Fogerty:




But if I had to buy a duc again, it'd be the Mh900e. <drool>

Nice Duc's. I have a friend with a yellow 748. Nothing like the rumble of a twin. I'm with loki's choice, for the $$. I too am married to one of the "too dangerous" wives also. After 2 years of persistant hinting I'm getting my Stook in July & the fastest bike Honda is building in a couple more years. I raced moto X as a kid & had street bikes after that. I just happend to be bikeless when I met the wife & have been working her over for a Stook then a bike.
