What's your dream bike?

[desmo2]

The one motorcycle I lust for above all others is the Ducati 996 SPS...


To my eye, this bike is the sexiest, most beautiful piece of functional art ever mass-produced. This is the red-headed Italian seductress that resides in my dreams. One day, I will have her...my Precious!

There are more exotic bikes out there, but this one is actually obtainable. I just have to sell my current bike (no problem), find a well cared for, low mileage one for sale (a little legwork, but no problem), and convince the wife I need to spend a few thousand more (AAAHHH...THERE'S the catch!) to obtain her!

Her looks are breathtaking, her sound is oh-so-seductive...she is a little harsh in the ergos department, but that can be remedied with some bar risers.
I want her, I want her, I want her...

So, fellow riders, do you currently ride the bike of your dreams, or do you long for another? Share with Desmo...

Nice, Des, you almost, almost[/b], make me want to climb on a crotch rocket myself.

With this bike I will gladly challenge Desmo2 to a race. Terms: both bikes will be pulling 400 lb trailers.

That bad boy needs 1832cc's...it weighs 794 pounds...dry!

Is that with or without the 250 pound reclining dead weight behind the handlebars?


(oh, that's gonna cost me!)

After RedRock gives his rental SUV back to Hertz, he goes back to his usual transportation:



But he can hold his head high, because he went for the tricked out custom version with handlebar tassles, and whitewall tires.

I'm not sure, but zooming in, I believe those are Mac peddles. Must make it go fast....lol. If I were a cat, I'd hate to get my tail run over by that mean machine.

Hah, how little you know! Where's the handlebar horn, the one that says, "Out of my way, bro!" And where's the flames decal on the frame??? The padded seat??? The reflective noisemakers on the spokes??? The metal bars on the wheels for stunts??? Hah, you would pay top dollar for this "tricked-out" version and it's not even the top of the line!

But the basic model is dependable, say what you will! Here's a recent photo of note:


Lamron borrows RedRock's ride when his purple hog breaks down while pulling his fully-loaded trailer.

I did find one for I.Feliks, though, to go equally well with either of his fashionable custom camo skins--it's the Chia bike, complete with Chia biker shoes:

Radical ride, is it not?? I was thinking of grafting on a side car and calling it my Hardly Davidson!!
