goodbye

Did the factory tour today in Bologna with the family. The guide mentioned they intend to make 1299 (by number) Panigale V-twin (and then that line in the factory will stop). They were up to 1,100 ish so not long to go now. Overall we thought the tour was great (ok maybe I liked it more than...

It's been a busy year. Been building the racebikes and being the crew chief for my buddy going after a second Open GP Twins championship in a row. Mission accomplished. My 16R just felt so happy on the track that it said goodbye to the streets this last March. Off came the stock...

Well, after owning my Tri for a season, it's looking like her and I may be parting ways. It's an outstanding motorcycle on the track, but a terrible streetbike (for me). My skin is more sensitive than most, and I have red/bumpy burned thighs after a street ride from the heat. I didn't ride it...
