I wrapped the grips with some tennis racket wraps. Very sticky, not very thick and preserve the factory grips.

Hey, send us a picture. I'm thinking about doing that on the Scrambler to match the seat.

Here's one. It's funny. The huge cargo helicopter I can't photograph is about 50. Feet away from this.

What do they offer for a possible trade in? And how sounds it to you?

They finally got back with an offer ... $18,000.
I guess given they have to mark it up and make some money that's a reasonable offer or starting price to bargain from.
The Ducati Streetfighter V twin is $23,200 and the V4 is $32,400 so that's $5,200 or $14,400 change over.
I strongly suspect I'll not act as not only would it be moderately expensive but on a Streetfighter my licence wouldn't last very long.

Tried my new lifter from Horning. Have to remove the sump Guard to use. But will make servicing and upgrades easier.

That's a pretty trick set up. You have to take the skid plate off anyway to do the oil change that's nice.
I watched a service video on YouTube, where the guy flipped his foot pegs over and used jackstands.
That's definitely something to think about if you're in a pinch.

... c'mon, you took pics from the bike - and there are mirrors, are they?

Careful, those lifters (got a similar from Becker) are tend to flip the other way round and could give the engine a serious knock.

I had a mishap with the Becker lifter the first time I used it. (I must have done it wrong.) I bought a rear paddock stand and never used the Becker thing again.

I came very near to getting that helicopter in the mirror. If I were to move a few inches to the right... I really don't know what would happen if I took photos without permission.. It's really silly since the military allows access to film crews to shoot movies on occasion. They do have an escort making sure the cameras don't accidentally point at something they shouldn't though. I'll tell you what. The installation opens to the public for an air show one day every summer. Photography is allowed that day. I'll take pictures of all the military hardware I can find.

I took my urban to vote today and now it is watching me through the window of our volunteer fire department, which is having an oyster fry.

 

[gene_apodaca]

I LOVE oysters. Kind of hard to catch in the desert though. I think last time I ate oysters was in 1999.

My mouth is watering. I'm going to go fry up some Rocky Mountain oysters now. Nothing like yours but they share a name. Actually, I don't think I will.

Today I boosted my taillight and brake light.
I turned the red reflector into an extra light.
Slightly thicker than the OEM reflector.

We just missed this event by about a week when we rode out west few years ago.

If you've never had them, they taste good when prepared well, just like anything else. The concept is a major put off for sure.

We had them up in Estes Park in Colorado. Not bad.
Cows are like pigs.
You could eat everything from the Rooter to the Tooter.

 

[gene_apodaca]

That's about as Rocky Mountain as you can get.

Had some spare brand new yet 20yro spot lights just to see what my bike would look like . For UK riders which side is better? I see most people mount on the L/H side if they have one

Or maybe install 2?
