[Ducati] 848 Review on Superbike Planet

[John Whiting]

Bob, George, Peter, Staton, etc.

Count me in!  Staton actually got me off the couch and onto a bike
Sunday evening, albeit for a sunset ride that involved the local
constabulary.....:-)

That was indeed the strangest 'pullover' I have ever experienced.  The
constable seemed REALLY stern and irritated.  Fortunately, we were all
wondering why we got pulled over, so lots of eye contact and very few
words were exchanged and we were back on the road. I was certainly
quiet.  Those extra pounds I gained over the holidays placed a certain
physical burden on breathing and vocal abilities when contained in
leathers never designed for the increased internal stresses.

The superlite is undergoing a keihan flatslide rebuild, and will be
ready and waiting.  

Put the Bear to rest on Sunday.  Godspeed, Kumason.

My D16RR delivery date weight target is looking UNacheivable at this
point, short of a Gandhiesque fasting.  Not quite the spiritual
equivalent, argueably, but the techniques may get me there.

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Peter, you will just have it right in time to ride with George and I 
this spring. Hopefully.
