    Bike comment at light

    This no kidding happened to me yesterday on my way to Peterson AFB. I'm at a light and a guy pulls up next to me on a Kawi Vulcan and takes a good look at my bike.
    Him - "Cool bike! What kind is it?"
    Me - "It's a Ducati Supersport" (Says that on the bike and I point to it)
    Him - Sweet! Who makes it?"
    Me - "Ducati." (Still pointing)
    Him - Blank look followed by "Oh"
    Light turns green.

    It is even more fun with a homebuilt bike:

    "What bike is that?"
    I made it.
    "Where did you get the frame?"
    I made it.
    "Where did you get the design?"
    I made it.
    "(Blank look)"

    It ran at round 1

    It ran at round 2

    It ran at round 3 (and completed the 4 hour endurance)

    if it had been needed, it ran during the time of round 4 and it ran pretty good today too...

    I'm not sure I'm seeing your point?

    :lol: throwing the Rotax V990 aprilia in the Not reliable discussion does seem a little out of place, LOL. You are racing it at R5 right? Great seeing you out there Scott. If only you had the same sentiment for me being out there, hahaha.

    What makes you think that I don't?

    It was great seeing you too!


    I'm planning on being at R5 and I think Ralph is too (at least I hope so)

    You give me a lot of crap buddy, but I deserve most of it. Next time I'll ask you for help loading the bike, LOL.
