Hayden's reality

 N Hayden is doing a reality show about the roller coaster ride of his
Motogp world since race 16 last year (when the coaster begins a plunge
toward the ground I'd guess. God, I hope he doesnt start singing at
the end of the show!

I'd rather he sing than some of the "artists" on MTV.

 



Two of my absolute favorite bikes. I have been a huge Speed Triple fan for
many years, not sure why I never pulled the trigger on it. Probably because
I always want a shaft-drive and ABS-equipped bike these days, that's what I
use to really put miles on. But I can't do the tourer thing, I need
something that is relatively sporty, and yet is good for all day riding -
hence I love the R1100S. I rode the new one, and prefer mine. But I'll have
to get something else soon, it's getting up there in age, and BMW doesn't
quite build bikes for eternity anymore (especially not the plasticky S).

The Duke is my little hooligan bike, highly annoying, temperamental and
impractical in many ways, but too much fun for a narrow and yet very
rewarding type of use. :-) It actually is the perfect example for a
middleweight bike that is so easy and predictable to handle (most of the
time) that I find myself occasionally sliding it supermoto style on a windy
road (when I have very good visibility). Which of course means that after a
tire "upgrade" where I went for a different brand I nearly found myself in
the ditch and had one of those episodes requiring a mid-ride underwear
change.

Then again, I broke my hand on one of those oh so predictable lower weight
bikes... luck of the draw...

 

What's MTV? Motorcycling Television? Ah ... if only.
