"Hey bro, need to talk to you about the desmo..."

Happy it wasn't my mates '16's tho

Yes, that doesn't surprise me that a mate of yours has one.

MS paint FTW!

Actually he has 2

[onearmedbandit]

You're effing kidding me? Let me guess, one for the track and one for the road? Or one in America and one in Europe?

[Mikkel]

So what is the deal with these 16s? What makes them so special that OAB is just about loosing his jaw at that comment (mate, better hang on to what's left eh )?

I don't know enough about Ducatis to have a clue...

[MVnut]

It's just that Ohio and Texas are sooooooooo far apart ( altho he has his own plane too) and they're both road/track bikes. 'Pa' is one seriously fast mother%$#^&* and uses his toys well. He also has quite a few other nice Eyeties (2 Ghezzi Brians, Duc 1098 Tri, 999S, Multistrada, MV 910R and F4, and I've probably missed a few). He's one of the 'regulars' in Europe

It's comforting to know that this blind madman, with so many very fast motorcycles, is in the states!

What kind of plane? That's what I'm curious about...

[MVnut]

I'll have to dig up a pic of the plane, shouldn't be long

[Mikkel]

Mikkel, you need educatin' boy

I knew that - actually I was asking to be educated. Come on and enlighten me, please

I'm confident that Wiki can fill in the blanks for you.

[MVnut]

Well done OAB, and Mikkel, why do you call him a blind madman, he's one of the best riders I know, I'd be happy riding wheel to wheel with him anywhere.

Yeah, I'd been all over that long ago if I wasn't at home on the dial-up. So bloody slow

It was in relation to him owning a multistrada... If I was on a proper connection I'd find the "motivational" poster describing what I mean (goes something like: At least when you're on it you don't have to look at it.).

But I'll start loading the wiki page, have a bottle of wine and then come back and read it.

Aren't you supposed to use speed for cramming?

He uses the Multi on the shingle that's too fast for his 450 KTM (but I get your drift)
