Rode a multistrada around Sicily on a Ducati trip years back (the Motogiro), can't remember which model. Felt a bit like riding a giraffe. Not that I've ridden a giraffe.

ULEZ primarily about nitrogen oxide emissions which are lower in 2-strokes.
Should never have sold that fragrant KH400.

Tnx!
A pal with a lot of real estate has just offered me long term storage so maybe I park it for a year or so. Will either increase in value, or not. But either way it will still start.

It is a bothersome thing in my life that I only have room for one motorcycle.
As a result this machine - which I've had three years of fun out of - is on eBay. A forum discount to a forum buyer, of course.

Tragically we never got around to ordering a Francesinha. Nevertheless we had a great time. The vibe is great, Porto is so very friendly. We had a day of rain and visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (the Fundação de Serralves, a very attractive building) with a special show of art from the period of the revolution, all of which was extraordinarily interesting and something way beyond mere propaganda and more a window into the Portuguese mindset, and then a glorious next morning (when the weather had flipped to the good) of sailing out of the Douro into the Atlantic, followed by delicious seafood in Gaia (where the marina is) on the south bank. To top it all everything costs about one sixth of what it would cost in London. Go Porto!

Might fit the bill. The engine was loud and harsh but not deep bass like a warbird.

Don't know much about power planes but I believe the Pitts is a biplane.

Was cycling to the gym and this:

Just a moment ...

Did you take all of those with the Fuji 6X9? It's a fab format.
And GLWS.

Tnx. Never thought about the dash mod, it could certainly use some more room.
Car when I got it had already had all bushes recently done and new 30mm lowered suspension, I don't think any stiffer than it already is would be advisable! Best thing I did was the Road Force wheel balancing, that really transformed things. I also replaced the tatty original vinyl roof with a fabric one, it just looks better.

Crikey that sounds compliqué. I can barely change a light bulb, let alone an engine.
Although to be honest I did buy the MR2 with a view to upgrading (with professional help, obvs) so wasn't really bothered about the state of the engine, I was looking at bodywork and interior. But so far and despite my best efforts the car refuses to go wrong in any way. The only problem which came with the car was high speed vibration and that was solved by Road Force wheel balancing on a Hunter machine (£39).
I do wonder how the car would cope with all that extra power but when the day comes I'm going to try it anyway.

What's your advice on the 2ZZ engine refit? Like, where did you get it, what were the problems, how much did it cost, what was it like after you got it?
-
The fun is in the handling not the power.
Anyway a car that is a fraction faster than a first generation 911 is fine by me.

Noisy. Uncomfortable. Impractical.
I love it.

Senior moment one year ago, I came home with a 2002 3rd gen Toyota MR2 convertible.
Regrets: currently zero.

The Flite takes flight.

Flite gone, not gone?

Oi the 600 Duke is a nice package and don't break down ;)
Ha ha. I once interviewed Federico Minoli who was the president of Ducati, he told me that when TPG bought out Ducati in 1998 they did a review of all the components used and they found several electrical components had a 100% failure rate - meaning they were guaranteed to fail during the warranty period.

SRX 400 - the one that was so popular in Japan. Very little performance diff between the 400 and 600. The 400 more or less does what my old Ducati 600SS did. Minus the breakdowns.
Atsushi Ichijo who designed the SRX (and also the Yamaha VMAX) is in his late 70s now but still riding around Japan on a red SRX600.

You asking that in this thread?
EDIT Autocorrect was right. Everything is sex.

Every spring I think I'll sell it, then the sun comes out, the winter cover comes off, and the single cylinder love comes back.
