Either that or she is the one who actually makes the money and he lives off her while living the playboy lifestyle.



For everyone else, back to the more important topic, scooters. Checked on insurance for the Ducati, ~$600/yr . Also read into swingarm swap, inexpensive and easy to do, but larger 200 rear tire for the SSSA is where you run into handling characteristics affecting turn-in response, but that can be corrected. Most folks that I found that did the swap were just average joes riding on the street and probably didn't know much about suspension/chassis setup and claimed they didn't notice any difference, but that's usually the case with any suspension/geometry issues. It's ridiculous how many of my friends were riding absolutely horrid setups because they didn't know any better, and after I set it up for them they said it was a whole different bike.

So, might look into it, might not. Guess we will see if I get bored enough one winter.

Theres a song played towards the beginning of the Closer to the Edge movie during the short history video of the TT that I always think of when someone talks about motorcycles and music.

Wicked Witch = every damn "Princess" I've ever met. Can we change your handle to Princess Peach or Peach or Peachy?

Play it all you like, as long as it isn't played here. Additional negative bonus points if it's any song played in a Geico motorcycle insurance commercial.

1 vote for motorbiking - No

Also 1 vote for motorboating - Yes

Id guess, optimistically, only about 5% of the bikes on the road here in the states even have the sag set, and even I think that number is likely way off. More bikes have color changing leds on them than are setup for the riders weight. Its usually the best $80 someone can spend on a bike (getting baseline set).

Also 200 rear? I thought all of the track focused bikes were running the 190 (unless you are talking about slick sizing, which is just a mess). My MV runs a 190 on the 6" rear and it handles fine. The 848 is the 5.5" rear but Id want to improve turn-in before I entertain the 190.

The difference being I'll tell you upfront I'm a wicked witch, a princess pretends and tries to hide the witch inside.

No peachy princess screen name for me.

The threads I was reading used the 1199 swingarm and 6" rear.

It's definitely a bucket list item to attend the TT one day and ride the course. If I could meet Michael Dunlop or Guy Martin that would be awesome

I drew attention to this as well, from the start. We got a picture of a hand on the wheel of a Rolls after.

I do not want to meet guy Martin... I don't think we'd get on, even though he's clearly a lunatic (in a good way). A friend has relatives on the Isle, so hopefully one year we'll make the trip!

Princess was more in reference to how you should be treated. Your Italian blood is too sassy to be peachy and Disney princess like.

Hard to see the good in people these days, I get it, right there with you. But it's why we all fawn over you in the meantime. We know a diamond when we see one.

Honestly that might help, raise the profile squeezing it on the same rim like that. Mine handles much better after I get a session to tent the tire.

The classic Instaflex. I can do better than hands though, I could provide pictures of me inside and even videos driving all kinds of exotics. Im just lucky enough to have some rich ass friends.

Im betting this is another porsche959 type thing, at best those are daddys cars. (if even that, did that porsche959 kid even show daddys car? All I remember was this supposed rich kid doing ghetto ass mods using hand tools IN THE STREET like an apartment dweller).
