    Motorcycle gear - Who wears all black?

    True... but we are not going to catch every single potential danger... It's good to know there is Hi/Viz to cover our backs (no pun intended)...

    DOT/Snell helmet sticker and M2 exit

    Dude... it's an E-stop. They can't fault you for stopping in a no stop zone in an Emergency situation. Albeit a simulation. What would you do/say in a real Emerg??? "Hmmm... I can't stop here, it's a no-stopping zone..." Ah.... NO! As far as the helmet goes... as long as it looks legit, they...

    Motorcycle gear - Who wears all black?

    A buddy drove me to the dealer the day I picked up the Duc. The bike was fully dressed... Topbox and Paniers. On the way home, I got quite a ways ahead of him. He lost sight of me for a while... With me still a ways ahead, he spotted a bike. He said he knew it was me by the Hi/Viz Jacket...

    Did you hide your bikes expense from your spouse?

    What I am saying is... that when her dad passed away, her demeanour and outlook on life changed. That, we cannot predict...

    Now I'm wondering if Esso 93 is AKI. I just assumed it was RON. RON is used moreso in Europe... and AKI in Canada/USA. If Esso 93 is based on the AKI, then that's probably about right for the Duc.

    Ducati recommends a 98RON (Research Octane Number) fuel for the Testastretta DVT (12.5:1 compression ratio) in the Multistrada... I've been using Esso 93RON since new. Sunoco has a 94RON, however there are no Sunoco's to be found. I've heard of a place that sells 98RON, but it is something like...

    Did you hide your bikes expense from your spouse?

    Actually, the fist 8 years were okay TTYTT. Then her dad died... She was Devastated beyond belief! She never quite got over losing her dad. Losing him changed her personality and general outlook on life. She was no longer the 'Happy-go-lucky' woman that I met many moons ago... I'm sure that had...

    LOL..... Years ago, I heard a radio ad that had a woman saying 'We're going to do this, this and this...' The man said... 'Well what about what I want?' she said 'You lost that right when we got married...' SMH!!! I'm sure that to a certain extent, this is how many marriages are...
