SV1000 etc great bikes.
I ride road bikes - ain't nothing gonna lean one over like riding in the drops! LOL...but the one I was looking at was the Ducati Monster. My problem is: I'm short 5'2" tall........once I'm GOing on them I'm fine but standing them up or holding them up at a stoplight can be a slight issue! (can you say tippy tippy toes? LOL).......I sat on a Hyabusa (I KNOW that isn't how it's spelled but ya know the one?.....0-200 in like 60 secs??) and I couldn't even reach the ground with the bike standing on it's kickstand! ROFL The sales reps all thought it was just too cute! (yeah thanks guys!)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
