 Just got back from a nice lil ride on the Hodgy... Wow... Fantastic... Pure Ducati race machine, with looks to match....Loved it. Now I`ve been riding my Vrod around for most of the summer and its fantastic, but after watching Rossi and the boys giving it some in Japan, I thought I should take the 996S out... Glad I did, starting off the Duke feels tiny (250 esq) also it feels high (compared to the harley) but after 10 minutes, I`m used to it and throwing it around like a tamed nutter, silly speeds are easy with a fairing and the noise from those pipes.....Pure Italian Gorgeous`ness, nothing comes close to my bike and I am soooooooo glad I didnt sell it... Both bikes are awsome at different ends of the scale....  Last edited by VanDaMauler : 24-Sep-2006 at 18:11.  |

| Thats just great,....I love reading about someones good ride. I made a last minute decision to take the 999S out today,.....I'm glad I did. Did'nt start out too well by getting a bit hot and bothered wriggling into the leathers,...just got going,....damn fuel lights on.First petrol station had run out of unleaded,(only in Lincolnshire!).....made it to the next one on the fumes,..  Right,Ive cooled down and my tank is topped up,...time to start riding,...  Not VdM's cup of char,I know,but what an awesome bike the 999S is.My grin just got bigger and bigger.Loved the double take from the R6 pilot near Oakham when he saw me in his mirrors,.."where the fook did he come from?"  Loved it even more in Uppingham when a nice looking blonde lady in a VW Golf mouthed the words "nice bike",....then I clocked her miserable looking hubby/partner in the passenger seat,...  999S,great roads,little traffic,.....fantastic. |
