motorcycles, midgets and mayhem
50 mph gusts tomorrow made me re-think my weekend plans: it will be f#*%ing mayhem when i tell the wife we are going to a motorcycle show for date night this week...the midgets wont make matters better.

the lone ranger rides a ducati
one lone ranger in australia may succeed in having ALL speeding tickets for the last seven years overturned in his home town if he wins today's (tomorrow's) court case. arguing that the police's speed detection cameras are not calibrated correctly AND cause cancer, the 57-year old motorcyclist hopes to stop the harrassment by the man he has suffered for riding his ducati 1198 at or under the speed limit...gotta feel for the brother!

motorcycle show
usually when the winter motorcycle shows rolls through, one has a feeling that spring is around the corner and bikes will be ridden shortly...not this year: i just want to hide inside! if you feel that way too and live near minnesota, go to the international motorcycle show in minneapolis. its way more fun then scraping ice of your wheels.

ducati dream: done and done
i took a trip to yorktown and this is all i brought back! my new ducati 1198 is a super bike for sure: cant wait for the ice to thaw!
i have been obsessed with the ducati for a while, but once i sat on one at the bike show, i knew i had to have it, stat! i scoured the internet and located only one...in new jersey...with credit card at the ready, i inquired about the bike only to find it sold several weeks ago: annoying! so, last weekend i found two had just arrived at redline motor sports in the tidewater region of virginia.
saturday i loaded up the trailer and trudged through our snow to pick it up:
someone else came by to pick up the black one: he was cool...
im back home in the snow and ice, but i couldnt be happier!
i saw this aprilia there...

good old glory
the customer service is why i keep coming back to old glory cycles: they are great! i needed to order a bunch of touring stuff for the harley, and ended up getting a sneak peek at the ness-influenced bike they would be showing at this weekend's motorcycle show in dc.

last ride of the year
i pulled the busa out for a spin christmas eve figuring it might be the last ride of the year due to the snowmagedon weekend forecast: we barely got a dusting here in dc. but, with 29 mph sustained winds and gusts @ 50mph right now and thru this week, i probably wont be back on for a couple of weeks at least...cant wait for daytona.

party like it's your birthday
the marines have been around for 235 years today: happy birthday... originally organized after the revolutionary war in 1775 to protect the 13 colonies, the marines have more than earned there cake. and, if they are eating cake today, maybe that will make the news...or maybe a marine's rendition of a beyonce or lady gaga song will be shown: i have yet to see in any headline the fact that the 'darkhouse' third battalion fifth of the marines is in a horrendous battle in afghanistan AT THIS MOMENT and have had thirteen members killed since last month. this story must have been buried between lindsey lohan and mel gibson updates.
