My new birthday present...it's red and sounds awesome!

no it's not a GT350 sadly. It's a Ducati 1299s superbike.

not my first kick at the can but definitely the most powerful kick i've ever had. 205 HP. 469 lbs.



maiden voyage today...in the rain. But she has a rain mode to tone down the horsies, ramp up the TC and ABS to keep me from killing myself.




My Mustang doesn't fit into my living room, but if she did, she'd be in here too!




A peak at my baby just before delivery.

Nice bike! 2/3's your Mustang's power and only a fraction of the weight. That thing has to fly.

Yeah, really. There isn't much in stock from that will beat that, and even most modified cars won't be able to keep up. That has a ridiculous power to weight ratio.
