Whatever troubles you, ails you, or stands between you and total self actualization today, know that it could be worse. You could be Charlie Sheen. On a Harley. In a living room.

I know what's bothering me--the feng shui's all off. There, that's better.  Or, if you happen to have a BMW R25/3, you can join the People who have a R25/3 in the Living Room Club, International. http://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/club/index.htm

Slim Pickens posted:Uungh. I want it. I'm not so keen on the headlight, I would have used a wider/flatter one and put it slightly lower, or maybe given it a small cowling. The rest of the bike certainly gives me moto-wood, though. The visual separation of the tank/tail piece and the stressed motor puts me in mind of Brittens, and the Guzzi twin powerplant has always looked imposing, purposeful, somehow aeronautical.

Yeah, the windscreen is also an old Arai visor, so those vents keep distracting me. Otherwise I like it, headlight and all.

Given the range numbers I've looked at, it is theoretically on its second tank of gas.

and cause im bored and feeling nostalgic, here's some pics from last summer. Taken the day after a track day, went a little too hot into turn 2 and lost my belly fairings to the corner. Never even knew they were gone until i got into the pit after seeing the caution flag go up a few turns later. apparently somebody target fixated on them and went right through one. oops. anyways, i dug through my box-o-fairings and found some old OEMs. took the old rattle can to em and they came out looking spectacular. Before and after shots, dont have pics w/ the decals i put on though.

I'm not saying you're a horrible rider if you have a cm of strips on your tires, especially if they are larger tires like 180s or 190s. I am saying that that particular Ducati, with a solid 1.5 inches of strips on the rubber, was piloted by somebody who was either unwilling or unable to ride in a spirited manner on the street. And that's too bad given the nature of the bike, which was made to be ridden quickly through corners.

I once met a 60something year old man who bought a bran new 1198S. We went on a ride and he was slow, shakey looking and I thought 'geeze... why do you own that thing'. A few months later I saw him at the local track, absolutely hauling massive amounts of rear end in the A group, making us kids look like fools. You can't use chicken strips to judge a rider one way or another, but you can use it to poke fun at your friends because why not.

a pretty drat immaculate Honda Hawk GT seen in the parking lot today:  I always wanted one of these, but they were impossible to find in Canada and I gave up. I wonder if ones in this good shape can be found reasonably in the UK? I'll have to investigate...

Mcqueen posted:Hah, I remember this pic from AE. WOW that just brought back a poo poo storm of memories. i wish i had more pics than what are saved to my imageshack account. :edit: on the topic of chicken strips, its one of the best indicators as to what type of rider you "can be". If you've got virgin sidewalls but square tires theres a good chance you've bragged about hitting 140 on your local interstate. If you actually use you're whole tire it at least shows you know the potential of your machine. The angle of lean that is between your chicken strips and your knee down (with proper form) is way farther than most people think. I lost my chicken strips on an interchance on the expressway. I never worried about it again. It helps me pick out the type of people i wanna talk to at bike night, but its not the end-all determination of skill.
