I'll play!

Here's a couple of my GT1000, currently my only Ducati:

All too much of that sort of thing going on here in Colorado these days, which is why I sold this one:

and also this one. Wheelie + cop = Reckless Driving + bye bye license...

This one is now gone also. Cute little bike but was going to require way too much time and money to rebuild:

my 2003 Monster 800, works really well for sport touring since I changed the seat and handlebars...

Snap Debby!
Heres one of my 998

Matt Spencer · Feb 24, 2012

Did the Triumph have Trouble staying in touch , or was it VcV in the tight twisty stuff .

:?

Sorry I could not resist... My experience with a Ducati & Norton:

Matt Spencer · Feb 24, 2012

The Green & Silver paintwork on the Commando looks nice .

xbacksideslider · Feb 25, 2012

OUCH! How depressing.

XTINCT · Feb 25, 2012

With a hit like that, the green Norton frame is most likely bent.

Diablouph · Feb 25, 2012

No "most likely" to it. Look at the left down tube.

Matt Spencer · Feb 25, 2012

You wonder if the hub failed on the Norton , and the dewkati went up its posteria of into the bushes avoiding it .
Hope everyone was o.k. .

B+Bogus · Feb 26, 2012

Well here's mine...

Now in the process of putting a Commando Proddy Racer together because I'm scared to take the Duke out

The recovery truck photos above being the case in point.

The Triumph had no trouble at all....two friends ride T140's and I've been impressed by how well they do on brisk paced group rides

Oh man I love this link!!!!

Ron L · Feb 26, 2012

Well mine's not the high-dollar wire-wheeled version, but it's still an SS bevel.

And this one is more comfortable and less rare, so it got the 944 kit, 41 mm FCR's, etc. Both have a soul-stirring exhaust note!

GRM 450 · Feb 26, 2012

I understand Debby's comments,,,,,,,
Here's tacho woman getting us both booked. Me on the Mk3 trying to keep up.

My favorite, 1974 450 desmo and tacho womans S2R1000.

My torture implement, (good fun in the hills though) Very loud and anti social. TT2 replica (750)

The wallet vacuum, presently in the restoration process, R/T 450 desmo.

That 450 Desmo is gorgeous!

Yeah... The hub "failed" when the 1198 miss the turn, crossed the double yellow, and smashed my Commando right in between the wheel and the frame ...
