New Baby!!

Congrat bro...

Is it a boy or girl? [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Saw one at Speeds. Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats. Can't wait to see it.

Very nice!! Back in the area now, can't wait for a ride.

very nice....you gonna miss the dry clutch?...or are you gonna look into getting all the engine casing and everything to do a dry clutch conversion?....also....you gonna do something to save yourself from the tubed tires in an emergency like getting some rims that you can use tubeless??

congrats!! [thumbsup]

Congrats, got my eye on a GT, waiting to see what the 2 Tone looks like. BTW the risers from an ST3 bolt right up to the Sport if you find the stock position too low. - Gene

Congrats on the new ride.

Glad to be of service, Liam, now when we goin' ridin'?

Already talking to Donnie about what it would take to put the dry clutch on her. When I do the 600 mile service going to take the side case off to take some measurements to figure out feasability aka cost.

Not worried about the wheels or the tubes. I have a feeling I won't have any issues in regards to that.

There are kits to make spoked rims tubeless. If you are interested, I can dig up a link. Or you could do the home brew method for under $10. I have done the $10 method on my DRZ and it works flawlessly.

Other than the cool sound, what would be the point of changing to the dry clutch?

Oh, congrats on the sweet new ride. [thumbsup]

Hey man, sorry I didn't hook up with you to ride this weekend. I came down with the flu pretty hard. I was out with Karen letting her get use to the M800 on Sunday and was so out of it I was dangerous, so she put me back on the couch and made me watch Baliwood films. I can’t tell if I’m still sick or if my headache comes from lack of believable plot and inability to act, sing or dance.

Dude, that explains why you're so whacked out today. :

It was kind of funny. We went there not sure of what was going to be the outcome. Casey did a marvelous job of fixing the ST, but was brutally honest when he said that there is no way to tell on that machine other than riding a few hundred miles to see what was going to happen. I'm 100% confident that the ST will give some happy rider years and years of trouble-free joy. It just wasn't going to be Liam.

I am in love with his bike and wish I was about 2" taller so I could ride it without being on pointe leaning it to one side. At least it has a comfortable passenger pad, so we will be able to ride two up. Out of the tail seats I've been on, I've had the fewest on Liam's bikes total. Well, that's not quite true. I rode to lunch one day on the tail of a Rebel 250 with a man who weighs 250 pounds. *EEK!!!* My ribcage is still a bit more flattened.

Anyway, we had a blast riding both days this weekend. He's more than halfway done with the break-in period! [thumbsup]

Are you going to put a performance exhaust on it? Ducati Performance should be offering a Termi system (w/ECU and air filter).

Ducati already has 2 differnt Termi systems listed on their accesories web site. Just need to know how much to determine how soon I'll get it.

For the dry clutch, to me it's what a Ducati is supposed to have. Especially the sport classics. They are so old school its a shame they don't have it.

way to go. Sounds like youll have some more fun than with the ST. As much fun as the SBK is, it definitely lacks some streetability that the SC should fix for ya. [thumbsup]

That's exactly it. The SBK needs to be on a track. The SC is like a street version of the SBK.

Congrats on the new ride. I've always loved them.

neato.

[thumbsup]

You may have seen the video, but it looks like plenty of the Paul Smart SC made it to the track.
