Cool....You hear the usual "Duc's are major maint animals", "you'll spend so much keeping it up" but of course this is from guys that haven't ever owned one. I got this bike to be my main cruiser. I love the Aprilia, but want to keep it set up for serious sport riding with a little tighter gearing. The Buell is the main commuter. But between the Buell and the Aprilia, no room for the girlie friend, so I put some bar risers on the Duc and it will be the all around bike. Looking forward to logging many miles on it.

I talked to Zieg today, I told him the story about our conversation...He laughed and said the same thing I did, small world! Congrats on picking up 9!
