Well done on the new bike mwaV8! Hopefully we'll see you out on a few rides soon - more fun than the driveway lol.

It's actually quite ok to sleep in the garage for the first couple of nights, I mean, how would you feel, all alone in a foreign country!

I can give you a note for the wife...........no guarantees as to its efficacy, mind.

Good choice tho, enjoy the handling, torque and noise! What more could you want.

the driveway is only worthy of 1st gear and bugger all RPM.. Gets boring after a couple of laps... Oh and the turning circle on the monster is non existant...Doing a "u turn" on the street will be hard let alone trying it in the driveway lol

are what I was after.. Prefer the thump thump than the screaming sound of an IL4

d00d, sleep in the shed with her tonight!

you know it makes sense, as has been said before "in a strange and lonely land you would not want to be alone on your first night there" would you?

well there you go man thats all the excuse you need! (trust me it WILL work with the missus)

psst, when you get around to "appreciating" the exhaust, make sure you use some "grease" and lubricate your "piston" while you are "appreciating" the exhaust!

*whispers* its even better with the engine running

well i would, wouldnt any of you?..........

**manwithav8** · 25th July 2007, 20:06

Fair call,what you got planned for her?careful with that modding thing it tends to take over your damn life.something as pretty as that doesnt need much anyway i reckon...

but if you look closely you can see the number plate brake sits rather low, almost looks like it wraps around the rear wheel... I want to raise the plate so it gives a look of the bike sitting higher in the rear end. Then there is something about the exhaust note of a Duc, but with standard pipes it isn't much different to any other V twin. May core them or get some slip ons... Also bar end mirrors as opposed to the mickey mouse ears on there now lol
