Good stuff. I was out yesterday in Rancho Sante Fe carving a bit. Took a turn a wee bit too fast and had to back it off very quickly.

Hmmm, spring must be here.

That WAS close!

Morelli, nice bike. you ever go to the Rock Store? maybe i've seen you.
I ride an 2002 R1, you can scroll down all the way and check out the pics of my bike. ride safe....

I love my boxster but nothing beats riding the monster. It's a 1999 M750 with lots of carbon.

Um, you obviously haven't met some of the women I've met in life..

That's a gorgeous bike. I'm looking at the Monster as well... Thinking S2R, but since I'm a new rider I'll probably start on a smaller bike before moving up to a Monster.

scoobyrex27, that Monster is SICK!!!!!!! :dance:
guess teaching jobs pay better than i thought....hmmm.
i am considering getting one. thinking of selling my R1. i dont take it to the track enough and i want bit more comfort now. again, your bike is one of the nicest ones i've seen.

ps, question, i am so use to the fuel injection. yours is a carb right? my old gixxer was carb and gave me some hesitation. how about yours? and ducati's clutch that stiff? i've heard some bad things about the clucth, only the clutch.

scoobyrex27 · 04-24-2005, 11:52 AM

Thanks kajita.

I don't have many bad things to say about this bike. I have not had a problem with the carbs. I run a stage one kit and some beefy wires with iridium plugs and just foam air filter pods (no airbox). Mixture is good and it runs great. Nice sound too!!

This bike does it all and is much nicer to ride around town, more comfortable position than my friends r6.

The clutch can get tiring but I have a smaller front sprocket so it is good at low, parking lot speeds and I will eventually get a new clutch slave cylinder to make it easier.

Best thing about this bike is the sound. It is a tough choice in the morning: Boxster or Monster?

Brucelee · 04-24-2005, 12:37 PM

Ducs sound nice. TWIN growl I assume!

Bushwhacker · 04-24-2005, 01:21 PM

My one and only bike is a 1968 Triumph Bonneville. Paid $800 for it in 1973, rode it from MN to Nova Scotia in September of that year - no fairing, no electric start. Had no other transportation for a couple of years, then got married, etc. etc. So now it's in long term storage waiting for a cash infusion and some uninterrupted time to rebuild it.
BTW, it could do 0-60 in 5 flat which is what the 987S (which gets delivered this week) is supposed to do, 30 years wait... Gawd, am I old!!

shift26 · 09-19-2005, 04:31 PM

new guy here.... but here are my bikes... both have custom undertail exhaust and many other mods... the black 636 is has a set of track plastics waiting and will become my track bike, the 10R is for the streets. you can find more pics of the 636 on my site: http://www.shift26.com

Shift - They're beautiful. Here's a little vintage contrast. I knew I still had a picture of it...

I had fun building this up. BSA Gold Star 500cc single. One time, I was living in an apartment bulding along the river in Detroit and would sneak it up the passenger elevator to my fourth floor apartment. I think every apartment should have fine art whether on the floor or wall.

I've had several bikes crammed into my garage along with various Porsche cars.
Currently I've got a 1998 Ducati 900CR parked in front of the Boxster, and a restored 1965 Triumph T120C parked alongside. My living room houses a 1973 Norton 850..currently under restoration.

Long time Harley guy.....but love all bikes....

porschefan1 · 02-01-2007, 12:39 PM

Hey guys,

this is very interesting. I actually work for American Honda, Motorcycle Division. As you would expect, I have 4 in the garage along with my 97 Boxster. I currently have 2 CRF50s, one highly modified, and one for my 4 year old son. I just got a 07' CRF250R, and an 06 ST1300. My neighbors think I am spoiled, but most of the bikes are free.

I have been on this site for at least six months now, and have not posted that may replys yet, but this one was to cool to not join in on. I also see that there are some members down in the Houston TX area. I am currently in the process of relocating from Minneapolis, down to the Woodlands TX. If anyone is from that area, let me know!

By the way, even though Honda pays the bills, I am a huge Ducati fan! Some of you guys have some great looking bikes. I will be working the Honda booth at this weekends International Motorcycle SHow in Minneapolis, if anyone is in the area. Look for me at the Honda desk, my name is Jeff.

I think we all have it in our blood- fast cars, and fast bikes- Anyone fly aircraft too?
