Ducati 848

Hmmm, those lift bars on the back give me an idea for a support mechanism for my rear tine tiller.

Sorry about your hard stools there dys. What does the bike have to do with it?

Remember those side streets in Viterbo I mentioned..

Not that I could identify a Ducati, just saying.

A Ducati is of the genera "Crotch Rocket"

In Pa, weve done away with helmet laws. So we have a number of bike accidents that turn pretty much fatal. These bikes make one lead with ones head. Some of te Speeds achieved by bikes like Ninjas , are outrageous and , like evolution, we seem to winnow out the "bold drivers". who speed up the curb sides of roads passing cars on the right until some shopper in a Winstar pulls out into the same lane and greases some kid and his bike.
Most kids that rive these CR's , dont worry about defensive driving. Either they believe that they are immortal or that they wont live to see 30.

When I was a tyke, that is, about twenty four or five, someone was decapitated at the low end of Gayley in Westwood on a (l'ambretta? probably spelled wrong). I worked with a bunch of smartie mds, including an orthopod who used to be a halfback, or something like that, who railed against those damned things. I'm mixed, in that I have a natural liking for speed and speed maneuvers, and a good respect for the consequenses of accidents. And I've a natural liking for easy vehicles which, erm, putt putt around. I figure they should not encounter each other.
