...the bike sounds different.

I'd buy it so I can be a poser. Does that also mean I get to pretend
that I am extremely wealthy?


I'm budgeting $4-5k in maintenance a year.
Cheaper than most country clubs.

Do your own maintenance. The 600 and 3,000 mile service will cost around $1,100 if you decide to bring your bike to the dealer.

WTF is a 600 mile service, do they check to make sure you took the price tag off of it?

I think MV-A is going to have a tough time becoming much more than a boutique presence on the sportbike landscape if they don't win in international motorsports .

LOL - another very funny comment. I'm hanging on to this one. I will use it shamelessly without attribution.

If you had said this in 1999, I would have called you prophetic. Saying it in 2009 makes you sound like you've been living under a rock.

I have said it , but they can always start a concerted racing effort now . MV will be around (whether resurrected or not) long after you and I are fertilizer . BTW , I AM a prophet so watch your mouth ... and you're no longer in the rotary club !

[sburns2421]

I actually worry about the long-term viability of MV. Harley may want too much for the company after smarting from the cost of closing Buell. To get rid of it they will end up giving it away, IMO. But H-D in their arrogance may refuse to do this and just let the marque die. They do not have a clue.

If you can't tell I don't have any use for H-D.

Ouch. So this is how the rotary lobby falls apart... in a tiff over when MV Agusta became/will become an irrelevant boutique brand. Such a shame.

OK you're back in . But only b/c I'm drunk . It's snowing here in beautiful northern Ontario , CANADA for fvck sakes !

More to come in a little while.
