I'm torn. I love the Buell, I love looking at the Duc.

I may keep the Buell and buy the Duc too!

"scaring the crap out of people on the freeway by doing a wheelie at 80 MPH."

These morons make it easy for the pols to pass more anti bike laws.

Turds!

the buell is a really interesting bike - great concept behind the design and definitely a great meld between cruiser attitude and crotchrocket mentality! i actually contemplated a new bike purchase (keeping the beetle) instead of getting the porsche. however, my wife only got on my other bike twice so, it would have been a purchase that only brought enjoyment to me.

the ducati, now that is a cool bike - don't see to many and although the rice bikes are top notch - it's just another great way to have some individuality either in a group of riders or on a stand alone ride.

here's a link to pix of my former toy:

BL and Mach: nice pics! I ran errands on my softail today. I love cars but nothing compares to the visceral experience of the bike. IMO Mach, like your situ, my wife likes the Porsche better than the bike.... lol

The Buell Thunderstorm engine puts out 103 hp!! With 84 ft-lbs. of torque!! That kind of torque makes shifting fairly optional...lol So you can just cruise along leaving it in gear or get on it and keep things boiling.

I also took the wife for a ride in the Boxster, top down, sun shining...... I got to admit it is great to contrast that with the bike experience. Yes, life is good when you got both..........
