Panigale R and stablemates

Took one of the RC's out for a short 20 mile ride today. Fall in love every time.

The truth is I'm killing time until the V4R arrives. I'll keep spamming the forum with pointless pics until then. Hope you guys don't ban me.

April can't come soon enough!

^^^Keep 'em coming! Your pics help pass the long offseason in the Northeast!

weather has seriously sucked here as well in CA. I don't see how you guys in the midwest and NE handle it. I'm going stir crazy.

Thanks man. It's fun. I like it cause it's different than the rest and I love the old cafe racers.

Nothing to brag about on the power front (80hp/60lbsft from a 961cc motor) but it's a hoot to ride and the exhaust note is so aggressive with the megaphone pipes.

Here's a quick vid I took this weekend.

I don't post much at all to youtube unless I'm selling something, but that's funny you saw the RUF. Yeah, I'm a car guy as well. The RUF has been the only car I've held on to for years and I'll never sell her. She's the real deal and is still insanely fast by modern standards. I like the new stuff too, but the 993TT is like the RC30 for me. A keeper.

Here's sir RUF recently with his younger brother. You can tell I like red

isn't the 993TT the Porsche in the movie "Bad Boys"! I fell in love with that car watching it chase down the Cobra!

You have to rent a storage unit to store all your toys or you have a 10 car garage? Lol

That was the 964 turbo 3.6. Awesome car. I loved it in that movie too. Came just before the 993 in 1994. Those are worth a lot today!

How can anyone miss it!? A true petrol head notices these things lol.
The minute i saw it i said this bloke is living the dream haha.

What a car man. I bet it's vicious to drive. What are the numbers on it? As in power/weight? Im sure its super rare too.

What other cars you got if you dont mind me asking? You can pm me if you like.

Im the same with my charger, i'll never part with it, i think i've had it for 12 years now... Hilarious how much in value they've jumped within that time. Im sure you've noticed the same with your porsche/porsches.

We should start a "what cars do you own" thread. I'm a huge car guy too. Right now I have nothing terribly interesting from a performance standpoint....a 2017 BMW 540 M-Sport. I sold my last neat car, a 2009 Z06, a few years ago because it was not getting used enough and I was adding to my motorcycle stable.

Some guys won't mention their vehicles. It may come off as bragging to us less fortunate folks

They are fun, but pricey to maintain. However, you can get a nice 996 911 for a good price and perhaps a 997.1 for a bit more. I suggest at 997.2 S or 4S.... or.. .GT3 and GT3 RS are silly priced. A 997 911 Turbo is loads of fun too. Each one has things to watch out for, except the 997.2, they are pretty bullet proof. The others have IMS issues or issues about coolant pipes. Do your research, ask for the DME report. Pay a bit extra to get one thats been kept up.

Im totally for it, Love cars. Im a genuine enthusiast at heart, make or model doesnt matter i can always appreciate something for what it is.

Nothing frustrates me more when you hear some clueless ...... say he'd never drive anything but a (insert whatever car brand here) etc. People who stick to one makes an then curse out any other model lol. I'll never understand it.

My friend just bought this years bmw 520, slow obviously but god damn the factory options and the way it drives is amazing. Such a nice daily driver. I bet yours is great for getting around!

Make the thread bro lol. Or i will eventually haha.

It is what it is, unless the poster is like " hey peasant look what i have"
i dont see it as bragging and i NEVER judge what anyone rides or drives.


I tell everyone the same thing, im sure if we all had money to burn we'd all be
driving rolls royces to get the groceries. People drive what they can afford.

Appreciate that comment. I really didn't even think about that when I started this thread and I really hope it doesn't come across like that. But now that it's been raised I can see how it might rub people the wrong way. For those of you it does please forgive me. That has not been my intention at all. Far from it.

It started with cleaning out my garage a few years back and I had to move some of the bikes around. I was walking back in and thought this is a pretty cool pic.

The thread kind of morphed from there. I received a number of PMs to share more pics. Enough so that I decided to do it on this thread rather than PM so many people individually. I also decided to offer up some good deals on bikes I was selling so folks on the forum could get the first shot. Started with the Panigale R and most recently included the aprilia.

I'm a motorcycle enthusiast through and through. Been blessed to have been able to experience some cool bikes over the years that people don't see every day. I think these things should be experienced by all who share my passion. If there were some better way to make that happen I would and I have had forum members contact me and even ride some of these bikes. Just can't do that for everyone for obvious reasons.

Sharing pics and videos I think is the next best way, albeit a distant second to actually putting them on the road and riding them!

I realize I don't contribute any real technical data on this thread. I do try and share my experience with each bike and how they make me feel when riding them. I always love seeing pics too of what others are riding and doing with their bikes. So anyway for those who care that's really what I intended this thread to be.

I was thinking when the weather starts improving I'd be happy to upload more pics or videos of specific bikes folks want to see more of. Just let me know. Although to be honest when the weather improves I will be riding a lot more than posting!

Cheers fellas! Thanks for indulging me all these years and for the great friends I've met and and solid content I've absorbed. Keep it coming!!!!

My comment wasn't a ... directed at you. It was just a general comment. I enjoy the photos of whatever people drive or ride, cheap or unobtainium. Someone start this car thread already so i can drool there also.

Ok, your missing the YZF-R7 and a Beechcraft Bonanza
