Starting to feel like this guy makes his money by wearing old army fatigues he found at a surplus store and pretending to be a war hero by telling bullshit stories to people on the street while asking for change. Either that or she is the one who actually makes the money and he lives off her while living the playboy lifestyle. For everyone else, back to the more important topic, scooters. Checked on insurance for the Ducati, ~$600/yr . Also read into swingarm swap, inexpensive and easy to do, but larger 200 rear tire for the SSSA is where you run into handling characteristics affecting turn-in response, but that can be corrected. Most folks that I found that did the swap were just average joes riding on the street and probably didn't know much about suspension/chassis setup and claimed they didn't notice any difference, but that's usually the case with any suspension/geometry issues. It's ridiculous how many of my friends were riding absolutely horrid setups because they didn't know any better, and after I set it up for them they said it was a whole different bike. So, might look into it, might not. Guess we will see if I get bored enough one winter. |

You never fail to flatter Thanks. My princess days are over, I don't want to be charming. I think I'd rather be the wicked witch. Have I told you how much I hate people lately?

We got the most interesting and wealthy man in the world over here repping and 10 year old 3 series and spending his time writing 3000 words on the internet.

Also 200 rear? I thought all of the track focused bikes were running the 190 (unless you are talking about slick sizing, which is just a mess). My MV runs a 190 on the 6" rear and it handles fine. The 848 is the 5.5" rear but Id want to improve turn-in before I entertain the 190. |

I do not want to meet guy Martin... I don't think we'd get on, even though he's clearly a lunatic (in a good way). A friend has relatives on the Isle, so hopefully one year we'll make the trip!

Hard to see the good in people these days, I get it, right there with you. But it's why we all fawn over you in the meantime. We know a diamond when we see one. |

Im betting this is another porsche959 type thing, at best those are daddys cars. (if even that, did that porsche959 kid even show daddys car? All I remember was this supposed rich kid doing ghetto ass mods using hand tools IN THE STREET like an apartment dweller). |
