Jeff,

I'm envious that you've found yourself with what I would consider a near-perfect stable (is there such a thing as perfection?). I currently own one bike and long for another. My one bike is a V-rod. Naked, relatively high performance, quite comfortable. Seems to fall in between your duo. Do I want a sport bike like your Duc (or a K1200S) for those rambunctious days (I live very close to the N. GA mountains), or do I want a long-distance comfort bagger (it would definitely be a RK)? It seems the V-rod falls right in between without providing the extremes of comfort, or the extremes of mountain carving character. But I love the bike anyway.

What to do (not enough $ to buy both unfortunately)? But it would be nice.

Anyway, it sounds like a great way to send-off the 08 riding season. Hopefully mother nature will smile on the NW a few times over the winter so the Duc doesn't get arthritis freezing in the corner all winter. Enjoyed the read.
