Saweeeet, see you have the sound system sorted already

Yeah I ordered those when I bought the bike at Christmas. I removed the baffles and they sound deep and rich. I particular like coming to stops let the revs run down in 2nd gear gradually. They make the most amazing noise.

Looks great, but I wonder if anyone has anything made yet that's not in carbon fiber.

I don't want to put any carbon fiber on this bike.

Just not my style.

So, they kicked you out of Vortex and you decided to come here with the pics & stuff?

Very good looking bike, the pics look great in the sunset.. I think I have found my new windows background!

Welcome to the ducati brother(and sister)hood!!

haha, no still going strong on the vortex. but decided to come on here, rather than flood the vortex bike forum with hundreds of Sport 1000 threads.

If you really want one of those shots in hi-res form for your desktop shooot me a email at jonathancareless@hotmail.com

btw, i see we both enjoy the same pair of glvoes.

Thanks for the offer, I'm fine with #3..

Yep, got those gloves for the oncoming season, which is making me wait even longer. Can you believe that we got about 5 to 10 cm fresh snow today!

Well, maybe in four weeks time the snow is gone.. I just can't wait!

Safe ridings with your new toy!

on eBay:

Bidding is already up tp $12,500 with several more days to go. Can't wait for someone to make a similar exhaust system for the SportClassics. The pipes and headers on this one are Staintunes, so ........
