Kinda at a cross roads, but I change my mind all the time so who's to say what I'll be riding come next summer.
I rode a 1098 in the hot florida sun last year. Didnt get to stretch out or hang any turns, just bar hopped. I think my thighs and nuts are still medium well.

I had a ktm pull in beside me at hibachi the other day. First time ive ever seen one, sharp lookin bike. I like anything thats orange.

On the highway ridin with -1/+2, it aint too bad. I think im usually cruisin at 8kish. Im thinkin about takin the back sprocket off but i fear the results.

If you get sa ducati, keep an ice pack and a stick of ball deodorant in your backpack, but me personally, id have to pull a valentino rossi and throw that thing the dueces.
