Friday 8/29/08: great weather, not too crowded got to ride 3 bikes:
Rocket Touring; now I know why t\Todd has that silly grin on his face, wow what a comfortable and easy handling machine, great brakes and oh that torque. not at all heavy once its moving
Sprint, a very light handling bike, good but not great power, very linier but no hit anywher, dead silent no intalke or exhaust sound at all, slight helmet buffeting over 80 mph i woudl ocnider it for a touring bike for sure
Scrambler, have to pas on this one, serious lack of HP, I do not like the 270 engine it shakes at low rpm, another bike without sound; this one must have aftermarket pipes!, brakes were OK but uneven and the tires suck
saw the 09 Bonneville SE, blue and white, with tach on a wrinkle balck "dash" Thruxton mufflers, 17' cast wheels ,cut down seat, nice bike: $9200!!!
wanted to ride the std Boinne but ran out of time
Gengras does have a leftover 07 Ducati GT100 in black and cream for $8995; I.m thikng about it
riidng back on Rt 2 at 10 pm on moonless night reminded me that I have ben riding that route on a bike for 40+ years. started on a 67 BSA B25 went I went to Central in New Britain
the Thruxton was purring at 80-mph I've made good and bad choices in my life and bikes are one of the best
and where the hell were you guys?????
