Gas powered bikes?

Top (GPS measured) speed, 118 vs 142 for the Duc. I'm hoping low 120s with some gearing changes.

Now, I don’t have any experience on motos, but those top speed numbers made me sit up.

Do you have adrenaline leaking out of your ears after a track session?

I was pretty amped after the first couple sessions on the 250 when I realized how fast I was going compared to where I expected to be as well as how much fun it was to ride (I honestly worried I wouldn't like it). Everyone was getting tired of me going on and on about it.

In general though, not really. For me, it's like the feeling after a solid run through Glass or Steelman at Allaire with fast buddies. You weren't excited - you were focused and then you get to enjoy the mental back-off.

Last Sunday was Bimota day. One of my friends bought a db3, a bike best described as an acquired taste, which seemed reason enough to pul them all out for a few pics. Left to right: db2, db3, db4, sb6.

Inside Moto Coffee Machine, Hudson, NY. All for sale.

Cafe and motorcycle shop in the same space. Very Ducati-focused, but there’s usually something BMW/Moto Guzzi/Triumph for sale as well, along with some nicely-presented, older Japanese bikes. Mrs.G. & I have been going there for 10-ish years.

There was a Ducati Monster on one of the service lifts this time around.

I miss having a v-twin sport bike. Always lusted over a ducati 916 .

Picked up a left over '24 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S yesterday in Richmond, VA. Flew down Friday night. 340 miles/6hrs back, staying off I95 until the last 100 miles or so.

First adult bike. 🙂

For a little more dollar than a good bicycle. Bought a '26 KLX two months ago.
It's not a barn burner like a 350 Husky or 450 Honda. But it's fun enough for this senior citizen.
Added; DOT knobbies, bash guard, brush guards, rally pack, DoubleTake mirror, Kouba-Link, and heavier shock spring. Upgraded the contact points; seat, pegs, levers, bars, grips. Have a five tooth larger rear sprocket ready to go on. Its a hoot.
