    F4i Suspension...

That said, I just wanted to say to everyone I've met (both virtually and in person) that you are a great bunch and you will be missed. Though I'm not sure...

    FS: Near-Perfect 748/996/998 Yellow Upper

    Ducati SBK riders, Unfortunately, I'm in bind cash-wise. That said, I need to liquidate the 996 yellow upper I have stored away in my garage. I was going to save it as a spare, but given that I don't have the matching intakes (I've got corsa-sized ones now, and I need the cash pretty badly)...

    Actually, I lied...same Duc, new feel. While the bike was in for it's 6k service at Nichol's, I had the lightened flywheel installed...man what a difference!!! The bike revs (and accelerates!) so much easier now it's amazing. To be honest, I was going to splurge a bit more on a sprocket swap...

    OEM Takeoffs: Pilot Sports

    The garage clearance continues!!! Ok, I've got a pair of Michelin Pilot Sports in my garage that I took off after the first 1k miles on them - plenty of road life left. I guess the only thing wrong with them is that they've been sitting around my garage for a while. Sizes: 120/70f, 190/55r...

    Wounded Duc...

    Damn, On the way to work this morning, I was hit by an Asian lady neglecting to LOOK before turning into another lane. Fortunately, I'm pretty much ok, just badly bruised and beaten.
