Gosh, from where I'm standing it looks like Ducati holds 40% of the top ten in point standings to the other manufacturers 20% each Bayliss won both races in Australia and one in Qatar with Xaus taking 2nd in the other.  Count em, Bayliss, Xaus, Biaggi and Fabrizio all on Ducs all in the top ten with Bayliss quite well in his standing.  What the hell is Honda racing?? A turd sandwich??

That is all.

Yea!It's about nurturing  BP. 

I'm too lazy to read all the posts or back track through the forum to find the cause for this. Since I can't recall any really dumb/annoying/ugly posts by bp, I voted "wthell is bp".

like anyone cares what I think anyway

Damn my approval rating is still higher than that of the president or congress.......maybe I should run for office.

Considering the current candidates, you'd probably have a pretty good chance

You admit you're squidly,      your advice is good,       you have a neat avatar,       what's not to like?     

I am not squidly.....

What does "I am calamari" mean then? 

I wear all of my gear, I am just prone to a different interpertation of safe and reasonable corner entry speeds, I find the little yellow diamond shaped signs with squiggly lines to have numbers which err on the ultra conservative side.

Well see, I agree with you 100%!   

I don't really dispense much advice, I would hate for someone to take me seriously and get hurt, the best piece of advice I can give anyone is if you have even the slightest doubt about it when on 2 wheels don't do it.

100% agreement here too!   

Glad you like my avatar.

It's one of the best here.

As far as whats not to like my wife says the same thing....I am far from perfect and love her even more for it, she just needs to be a little more honest and tell people I really am a grumpy ass.

See, you're honest and you love your wife. That's a real treasure to find in a guy in my book (okay, you know I'm of the female persuasion here (I'm not a ghey guy, not that there's anything wrong with that   ), so I'm serious, that's a real woman's point of view.)

Now, I know it's not a Duc thread, but I saw a red 2001 Monster 750 today and went head over heels... how far off is $5k for a did I say it was red? with 15k on the clock? I've been pricing them for awhile, it looked really clean and still has some warranty left on it. I really can't have one yet, but that's the range I was thinking is almost doable. But then I figured it would probably need like $2k worth of work, and they're fussy Italians. I'd probably have to bribe it with a shot of espresso before every ride.

now dont get terry started on that again 

Teek!!!!  an '01 M750 is the exact same engine as my duc.  Honestly, the maintenance just isn't that bad.  Cacycleworks has a couple of instructional videos on youtube of everything from changing your oil to adjusting your valves and replacing timing belts.  5k seems about right for an 01 M750, and I would really doubt it needs $2k worth of work.  The worst of regular maintenance is reserved for the superbikes at 6k miles and even that is usually only $1300 or so.  The stock bike should ride pretty nice as all the little bits and pieces that affect a bikes ride are pretty high grade stuff (brembo brakes, marzochi suspension) and power is going to be pretty markedly better than the GS but still easily manageable.  Even mine that I found out has been ported/milled and has the FBF high comp pistons is very predictable in the throttle.  Not to say predictable is mild though, she'll power on up on one anytime I roll it on from a low RPM.

Teek,

The "I am Calamari" caption on my avatar came from a discussion in another thread where someone threw out a statement that superbikes and supersports were all squid bikes and people who rode them were squids.

Technically I am a "Hooligan", Squirelly Kid phase was passed many years ago.

Whaaaaa ... Betting python is a guy ?? ... I thought s/he was a very manly looking girl ... didn't you put up a pic some itme like that, on a red GS with other bikes in the background ??
Cool.
Srinath.

Manly looking???

Dude that's my wife are you calling her manly looking...be careful.

Me.

I've no problem with BP, but he is less politcally correct than a transvestite midget selling buttplugs shaped like a baby jesus in front of a catholic church.

Pst.....  can you tell me where that transvestite midget is selling those buttplugs?  You got a price and pics?
