Circa 2003 at Shawnee cycle plaza. Waiting to pick up a a new visor I ordered. Then I hear it. A Duct 748 (yellow) rolling up, eating through the gears during engine breaking coming off of 63/ Shawnee mission parkway. I literally went outside to see what kind of hot rod had pulled up. I managed to catch about the last two gears of a rider engine breaking. I was awestruck. I had. NEVER heard anything like it. I would imagine it would be like being a kid in the early 70s hearing a Chevy big block, or other healthy motor of your choice, rolling up next to you and your family in the family truckster. Truly ****ing amazing and had a huge impact on my memory I'll never forget. |

I been talking so much about the Ducati, the wife said get one. Just doesn't make sense since I already have an adventure Tiger 800XC. My plan is to find an old Honda Scrambler. |

Last year we stayed in Deadwood. It was great, park the bikes and hang out drink do what ever just be off the road. |

Yeah, I've never been much into the biker party thing. Hell, in the several years that I've been riding I have been to a biker bar in Topeka once. I'll go to Sturgis (and BBB) to experience a bit of the atmosphere. Maybe get a tshirt or other souvenir but I'm sure I won't want to be there more than a day or so. Besides, the scenery up there is beautiful. Why would you want to waste much of your time not on your bike? :) |

which model are you looking at? seems there are several release pics and perhaps a few different models of scrambler from DUC -- I found this pic, is that it? http://www.sportrider.com/sites/spor...?itok=KxDXe77l |

hell, I don't know when, if ever, I'll get back up into that area; let alone while riding a motorcycle. Life happens way too fast and you never know if it might only be your one-time shot at getting up there. sure as hell don't want to spend it drinking $7 beers (or whatever they probably cost) at Full Throttle Saloon, and basically idling/walking my bike down main street for hours on end. We'll go; grab some shirts, souviners, have a few cold ones over the course of a few hours, people watch......then back on the road. |

I know that Triump Scrambler is expensive as hell, but I really like the preserved old school look of it.... I'll probably wait a few years and buy one used from ebay. Or, if some extra cash shakes loose this spring...... vrrrrroooom - Triump style !!! |
Last evening I got my first ride in since Christmas day. It was just a trip over to the bank but it was nice. Wanted to ride into work this morning but it was only 19 degrees. I hate winter.
|
anyone going to the bike show up in North KC this weekend?
Supposed to be 50+ degrees out, so my brother and I will probably ride up (last year it was 47 when we left, but the temp dropped to like 35 while we were there; cold MF ride home lol). if anyone is interested going and wants to ride out, hit me up. I'm in Lenexa (95th and Marshall Dr). Probably leave around 1000-1030. |
