Expensive days off....

Congratulations! Very nice in yellow. Have fun!

 

I envy you. My wife has been pressing me to get a cruiser so she can ride with me on longer trips so a DUC is out of the question. At least I have her talked into adding another bike to the stable instead of replacing one. :biggrin:

I have her interested in a classic Norton or Triumph.

 

It was a good weekend for riding. I rode to work on Saturday and took a nice ride Sunday out into Connecticut. Still loving the bike and it wasn't uncomfortable at all. I took one of the routes that I would take with the VFR and I felt the bumps more. The shoulders get a little more of a workout because the lean is a little more aggressive but the control in the turns was incredible. Fuel mileage is about the same. 41mpg so at about 85-90 miles my light comes on and I put 2 gallons in. The tank is 4.1 so I think the light comes on a little early but it seems to be common to all 1098s. Like coming on at a half tank..... Italians are pretty cautious I think. The motor is still breaking in and has about 400 miles now..... Getting smoother with every ride and the power is starting to show itself. I was surprised once or twice with the torque. Smooth power is good though, it just keeps coming on then its time to let off. Anyway I promised a couple of pics. I met up with a friend on his Suzuki 650 and his son with a Ninja. Funny that they are all yellow.

 

Sweet Bike!! I'm glad for you. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I walk into a bike shop.

 

Absolutely Sweet! Love that Duc, I can't blame you a bit.. Yes, please do stick around.
