Those vents in the front feed air to the oil cooler.....temps run from 180 to 215 on mine.  Adjustable headlight from the dash computer, adjustable clutch/brake levers, fullly adjustable suspension.  It's a tall bike...........

That one is cool...kind of retro looking with the front end...you wouldn't believe how these bikes handle!!

Very retro, it has a lot of curb appeal.  not sure how comfortable it would be but my FXDWG3 bar bike doesn't get that many miles and this would get similar use.  

Everytime I go to the garage and have to decide which bike to take the SEUC wins 99.9% of the time, onboard rain gear, radio, phone, gps, heated seat/grips etc.  doesn't make it much of a decision, guess I'm just an old fart now.  But a smart old fart (see below)

Hmmm, guess this (see below) would make you have to seriously consider riding something other then the SEUC today then wouldn't it. [smiley=devilish.gif]

However in my present condition/circumstances I'll not be taking advantage of it today. :'(

I'd like to see that one in person to get a feel for the bar position...I'm not really into laying on tanks anymore.  It's just too hard on the wrists.  The young guys use their abs to hold them up some, but mine are reserved for  [smiley=drink.gif] these days.  But that bike with 1100 would get on down the road in a hurry, so the wind would help hold you up... ;) :o

It's warm here today....70 degrees, but cloudy...same as yesterday when I took a spin on the V, and it's out in the driveway now.  It is hard to walk away from the SEUC though...

There are proportionally more Ducati's around here than when I lived out by San Francisco .
I love them , and the new 1098 is beautiful, I've come close to buying one a few times (ST3/4) but my wife is very against the idea as she is quite certain I'd die with a BIG smile on my face if I had one.

The presence of dealers and the right kinds of nearby roads drive the presence of Ducati in the States.  It is one of my favorite brands.  Have owned four over the years.  In line for a 1098 Tri-Colore.  Until its arrival, have enjoyed the thing below immensely.  Have many roads nearby where the Ducati is sublime...

Yep I'm back at home, and all is going well. Have been doing PT since second day in hospital, and it's going well. Learning how to walk all over again and strengthen muscles back up that were cut to get new joint in.

That PT is what will have you back in now time.  Hey, then you might be able to fold up and get on one of these Duc crotch rockets ::)

Gary, glad to see you're back on the site.  Hope you're not having too much discomfort - but it will get better I'm sure.
