I feel as if I am in the wrong country at times like these.

 

[ELVISTO]

You are Cookie, I think, where are you anyway,

 

[CookieKing]

In the USA. State of Virginia.

Very nice place, love it over there I flew into DC last year and rented a bike from Eagle rider, Rode down to the Dragon's Tail, and back up the Blue Ridge, had an amazing time, the people were fantastic

Well what can I say but just great. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was genuinely happy.The size was good and it didnt feel small but maybe the tank being low makes it feel like that. Power delivery is swift and nice just like any ducati. Brakes good but I wasnt thrashing it anywhere and just enjoyed the 2 hrs in 7 degree temps. No missed gears and clutch easyier than 1100s. Really nimpble and light but I need to get used the new switchgear.
Mines in the dealership now and have seen her in her yellow clothes and have ordered these today.

And they are trying to discount me the termi race system.

Hey Albie, did you make a video of your ride?

 

[Albie]

Yes not great but for the forward view was down too much from chest mount

 

[Albie]

Trying to upload to the bucket

 

[CookieKing]

I am excited to see it!

 

[scowa18]

Me too! My dealer preview day is Wednesday, but sadly no test rides I will have to enjoy the test rides of those lucky enough to have ridden it.

 

[dascrow]

Congrats Albie on the test drive and thanks for the Scrambler Report! I'm still 12 days away from seeing it in person for the first time.

 

[El Toro]

I had a test ride on Saturday. Should I be gloating?

 

[Shamone]

"Lucky Devil"....and loading up on goodies already too! Did you happen to see the Race Termi? and did it have a cat on it? Congrats on your test ride.

This waiting game is awful......

And as with most games there is no winner until the end.

Good questions. Get outta here ya dang cats! I'm trying to hear my motorbike!

 

[Albie]

No not seen it yet. None over here yet I believe. I am led to believe no cat so thats why us cannot have. How it get through e3 in europe I dont know but I am believing its only for race use.
