I can't remember when the first time fell in love with motorcycles in a typical romantic fashion. But I do remember, vividly the first day/time I heard a Ducati.
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.
