Okay, Greg. So now I have to ask: what exactly are you a captain of again? I have assume boats because I can't imagine someone who can't figure out the difference between first gear and reverse is allowed to fly airplanes.

Not saying that you couldn't be a competent pilot (or boat captain) and not understand how to work a single clutch hydraulically actuated transmission but, I mean, wow.

Jealous again? At the Captain?

Bud where I come from 80K US is more than many homes in SA (not mine obviously I have a Travatine 16 car Garage and the thing is pressurized so my toy collection never gets dusty) you are indeed very fortunate.

If guys get rubbed up by your wealth or attitude its because they themselves are not builders and mentors they are normally middle management and in many cases there personality profiling suggests they have to break people down in order to feel worthy

I learnt early in life the only time I look down on a person is while Im helping them up! Its an attitude that has worked for me, on the forums we all just like to banter.
Im the one who normal gets my ass kicked because I moan all the time and the guys got tired of hearing (the truth) about how .... the 1299 ( i received actually is)

PS is your bike leaking yet or are you petrified to start the thing?

Captain thank you for the kind words man...I never mentioned anything about wealththe point of video was to share my experience with it.THAT WAS IT.
Funny thing is if we all meet up (if there is such a thing at this point haha) I usually inspired people since I know what it was like to be poor so I usually try to help people. Bike is still doing great! Any pointers?

Your bike = old technology

So what? I can use it all and it has less crap to go wrong. If I had the choice I would put even less technology on it.

I passed on the new one. If I wanted it, I would buy it and add it to my collection. There's nothing stopping me other than I don't like it that much for me and my uses but maybe that's because I actually use my stuff.

I don't like having the latest and greatest. I don't have the latest and greatest in cars either. I have stuff that I can use that's reliable that's not full of all kinds of gadgets and gizmos to break.

I'm not seeking your approval. Like it or not, I tell it like it is. I've given you the tools; what you do with them is up to you. Good luck.
 
Guys in my case the 1299 is way to much bike for me! I admit this openly. U need big balls if you want to push a 1299 or the 1199 or even the 959 to its limits I take my hat of the the guys on this forum who race them and when these guys talk on this forum on the tech side or comment on set up or other I listen.

King you have purchased a beast I hope you take stock of this before you wack the gas wide open, a motorcycle can humble you very quickly

When Sherpa and Able Duck Jpanigale talk us guys really need to pay attention!

Im tiba

cheers

A few of my closest friends are ex-studs with thousands of movies to their credit. I ride with three of them. I did meet one of the gay ones at my local dealership the other day. I think I talked him into a 1299FE or V4 Speziale, interestingly enough.

But to answer your question, we've had several dozen of the girls from amateur to ex-contract girls in studio and on the bikes for various shoots. Most of them are fun to hang with off camera.

Everything I own for personal use is old technology: my bikes, my cars, my phone.

Want to know what's interesting? A couple of things you own that you've shown in your video have new technology I invented that you got charged a ton for (assuming you actually own what you say you do). So thanks for paying for my Superleggera.
