You went to the wrong Duc dealership ;)

If you won't get it until Tuesday, I vote either Triumph or Harley. They need the extra days to fix the oil leaks first :D

In all seriousness, have you signed up for an MSF course?

Yep. And I convinced one of my friends to enroll with me. He rides a Triumph Street Triple that gets squirrely on him a lot. Turns out he's a 100% rear braker! I'm sort of surprised he hasn't crashed. Anyway, I'm taking the MSF course in Benicia. Looking forward to it.

Yeah! He hardly uses them. He taps his rear brake in a turn and wonders why he gets loose. :confused: He's going to the MSF course with me. Good thing!

Hmmm, good job on signing up for the class. Have fun in the Buell Blasts!

That is freaking scary about your buddy being a rear braker, the brakes on my BMW were linked.

Wow - that is beautiful.

I have lost track now - is that a V-Rod? I thought they were water cooled?

Gogar 11-11-2009 10:02 AM

Nice! Apparently nobody talked you out of it. You'll have a great time with that bike, I bet!

Big Ed 11-11-2009 10:03 AM

It's a beauty. Be careful out there, doc.

greglepore 11-11-2009 10:05 AM

couldn't resist the Porsche motor...

scottmandue 11-11-2009 10:19 AM

I think the Doc just want to pull the Harley haters chains just a little. :D

Good job on the bike Moses... life is too short to care what someone else thinks of what you ride/drive.

IMHO it looks like more fun that a barrel full of lesbians. ;)

Teutonics 11-11-2009 10:25 AM

Nice! That should provide miles of smiles...
