sputnik Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 sput's rides a Ladies bike, Ozzy.... a CB 350 ....whooo hooo .... watch out it don't get away from ya , Sput's........[] I bet you think I'll get mad and quit the forum if you pick on my little motorcycle. [] Pure stock cb350s are getting pretty rare - seems like most of the ones that are left are being converted to cafe racers. That little bike has a lotta kick in it's 8,000- 9,000 rpm happy zone.

SteelerFan Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Great pics. I've been in FL for 34 yrs now but I grew up in western PA and I still miss this time of year up there. [] The good news is I'll be riding my Suzuki all winter long down here.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 ...Buy the Duke and you'll never regret it. I rode a friends '82 a few times when I lived in Scotland and was very impressed. I can imagine what the new ones are like. Well..... I bought the Ducati. [][][] Another beautiful day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinozz Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 You Dog......I'd love to get that thing on some twisty turnies and cut er loose. A run on that beast and I'd likely be recovering from another broken neck. It came with some really fantastic scenery too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sputnik Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 You Dog......I'd love to get that thing on some twisty turnies and cut er loose. A run on that beast and I'd likely be recovering from another broken neck. It came with some really fantastic scenery too! I've ridden this bike up a few of the local canyons. It hunkers down and rolls into curves so easily then hugs the line and pops out soooo sweetly that I really have to control my reckless urges. I tried other great bikes in this class (the Suzuki sv650 and the Honda 599) that are faster but the Ducati just feels right and handles solidly. All in all, it's a very easy bike to ride but it can still deliver quite a thrill. Hey Sputs, nice ride! Try to keep all your bones attached in the OEM fashion. Good luck! Patrick, good to hear from you. Thanks for the thought - my vintage OEM parts are getting pretty worn out as it is. Another one seduced by Italian machinery. Enjoy! Seduced or suckered? I hope not the latter. After I rode the bike to work the other day one of my esteemed collegues posed the following riddle: Question: What is the best way to view the Italian Navy? Answer: Through a glass bottom boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sputnik Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 better keep up on those timing belts , Sput's ..... every 12,000i, i belive How'd you get to be so smart? Timing belts.....yeah, I've heard some horror stories, I think something like every 6,000 is recommended. They look to be pretty easy to change though. I ran across a site where a guy goes through the process step by step on his wife's Ducati - yes, it looks like I have another girl's bike.
