I saw not one, but two this Sunday. I met up with a couple of friends down at Marcus Dairy in Danbury CT. Apparently every Sunday morning when it is riding season around here Marcus turns into a small bike show where everybody meets up early morning before they head out for a ride. I didn't bring my Camera so I apologize for not having any pictures, next time for sure. It was just really impressive to see two of those machines parked next to each other. It was probably 150,000 dollars worth of motorcycles within 10 feet of each other.

The thing that killed me was the riders had to be in their late 50's maybe even early 60's with full Dianese leathers and gear which alone was probably another 3 grand, all completely spotless. Seems like one of the cases of two much money and not enough skill.

Anybody else in CT ever head down there on weekends?

most of the d16rr's were shipped to dealers in the NE, and delivered to persons who edged their way onto the list through already owning a 999r.

don't let the age/crotchityness of those guys fool you. there's a guy 'round here with a sv650, b-king, and a couple of triumphs that will out ride quite a few

That's true I shouldn't assume anything by their age, and after all those are probably the kind of guys who can actually afford to drop 72,000 on a bike anyway. But there where other give aways that at least one of the riders was just trying to look cool. Full race leathers which where spotless, knee pucks that never touched the ground (I guess he could have just replaced them) and you could tell the edges of his rear tire never comes close to the pavement.

I guess I shouldn't be such a whiney Buddha Loves You. It probably just comes down to me being jealous. I didn't mention it before but it sounded like the bikes are powered by the devil.

The devil himself couldn't touch a D16RR, they're f%$king insane.

I probably should have mentioned this before: I would cut off my own balls and put it on youtube for a D16RR.

, me ill settle for a paso

spc · June 09, 2008, 08:04:20 PM

I'll settle for a new flywheel, ported 800ss heads with DP cams, FBF 13.5:1 pistons and jugs and what?

? 100hp and 80lbs/ft from an air-cooled 2v twin??? f%$k yeah.........of course that's 3-4k in parts.

yamahonkawazuki · June 09, 2008, 08:16:40 PM

go for it oh wanna-be nutless one

spc · June 09, 2008, 08:20:33 PM

A guy on the Duc board has 800ss heads for sale for $350, just needs new valves and guides (not damaged just were removed at one point for use in another application) and the piston/jug kit can be had for 1300 direct from FBF, could probably dump my current pistons for a few hundred and flywheels are only 200 from FBF.

what no pics?

yamahonkawazuki · June 11, 2008, 01:37:08 AM

of what, his laco-o-nads? no thanks, lol. btw terry got to ride with several ducs at the dragon. i had to cut my ride short case we had to pull a streetfightered r1 out of the ditch. dude didnt even make it through the first turn. i had to assist him in getting the thing runbning, and teh shifter reattached with hose clamps so he coud get it welded back on. but damn those ducs, all sounded awesome in the area. i cant remember how many times i had to explain desmo to people, hell even the owners were impressed, that a gs rider could explain a duc faster than some iof them could. i still want a paso tho
