Oh?  I am?  I was planning on blathering about it excessively.  I still
have a Ducati test ride to post about tommorow, maybe a VFR test ride, and
then a review to write when I've ridden it for a week or so, then another
after my first road trip...

You should be so lucky as to have me shut up.

You mean, like my NX-650-? Or my SR500 bored out to 580ccs?

Er, Shhh!  I tried to finish it...  Hopefully some day, they'll let me in.

Arguabely, it's yellow, depending on who you ask.

Mine's the same color as Dan's Mr. B used to be:

So it's probably a bit brighter, and definately a lot cooler.  ::grin::

I'm sure we'll manage.

Oh, damn.  Maybe I can tape dark garbage bags to it and make up for it by
wearing all dark leathers...

I'm going to bed.  Zonk.
