I tape Speed Channel last night, cuz I just got the channel and it was Two Wheel Tuesday. One of the show talked about the Harley Davidson Race bike, the VR 1000. It was a 90 degree, v-twin with a dry clutch. Dennis Gage (or whatever the phuck his name is) said to the guy, "this is basically a Ducati motor", the guy was like "Uh, yeah...yeah". When they showed it riding on the street, it didn't sound as cool as our beloved bikes, but it did have that addictive dry clutch chatter. The bike was like a 94 or something like that. Kinda cool to know that when HD decided to race in the AMA, they copied off a Ducati motor. Maybe I don't know the whole story, which I probably don't, but it makes me feel good that all these Harley buffs realized who makes the better product!
