Wow Jeff, I'm impressed. That'll be one of the raddest bikes up here. Have you been ridden sportbikes for awhile? Have you ridden Hatchers Pass? I think it's the best road in AK! The old Glenn just got repaved last year and should be fun too. And this year they're repaving the road into Hope. How'd you get intersted in Ducs? You know there's only one 4v head mech in town right now, Mike Lavalle at the MC Shop. Except of corse Tom at the Harley shop who also owns a 996. I don't think they're letting him work on our bikes yet tho, are they Bob. Hey Bob- I'm really glad to hear that stuff is actually on the way! I was afraid you'ld sell this bike before you even fixed it up and rode it. You do seem to go thru a few. You think you'll get the Aprilia? Scott with the MV called this eve and said a few of them were actually gonna meet at TB tonight! Still a little chilly for hangin out and it was sprinkling a little when I left work. See ya, MH
