.... Elton, I hate You too :laugh:

... but You have to sell that stupid japan bike, so then i start to "love" You... :funny:

finnpaso,

i'm a lover of all bikes, if it's got 2 wheels it rocks my world. 125cc scooters, big harleys, i don't care, i love 'em all. true, i have a special spot in my heart for ducatis, but i find the whole sport vs. cruiser thing divisive and ultimately harmfull to the sport of motorcycling. i don't subscribe to that us vs. them thing. bad mouthing cruiser bikes and the people who ride them bores me. it reminds me of the motor vs. blowboat, or glass vs. wood debate amoung boating enthusiasts. i don't know about you, but i'd rather be ripping down the road sitting on top of a harley fatboy than inside my car any day that's suitable for riding.

by the way, my "stupid japan bike" as u call it, is mad cool! it turns heads wherever i take it. in it's day it was the fastest shaft driven bike made, (a title it quickly lost to the V-Max). i'm in the process of converting it to chain drive w/ GPZ final drive components. it's not a duc, but it's very cool. broaden your horizons a bit finn, you'll enjoy life more!

I undersatand Your behaving, but after Your story i have to say, that i hate You still...

To me Ducatis, and especially Pasos(no matter i have powerfull ST4S with many improvments also) are main thing in my world, so i dont accept that some "Ducati/Paso guy" have some shit bike from Japan... Ducatis are "lifestyle" and especially old Pasos are just that... As many have sayed: "if U are not with us, U are against us".... I want to be in Ducati and especially "Paso side", so i dont give so much "points" to those guys, who want to have any japan bikes.... Maybe i am "too deep" in my Paso/Ducati things, but forgive me that.... If peopple here dont need anymore my advices, then i go out from here and start in some other forum....

This is not anykind of "war" against anybody, but i live for Pasos and Ducatis....

Forza Italia and Ducatis :thumbup:

Finn ...................... you can love something without hate for something else. I mean dam, its kinda like the euro's hating Lance Armstrong cause he kicked the best Europe has to offer at thier most loved sporting event. (7 times in a row LMAO) :thumbup:

I guess Your not into to two wheels without Engines then Antti ?

Lance Armstrong is definitely a guy. Probably the best competitive cyclist ever.
Unfortunately the French press dnever looked at it like that and Throughout his career Lance was effectively at war with them.

Finn do you own a TV?

But, I am not surprised. Its easier for some euros to say a thing does not exist than to admit its greatness. I have a buddy that wore a Lance Armstrong jersey to a Cup Soccer final and he got hit with a beer, lol.

But, believe me I catch hell riding my duc with my Harley buds but I love every minute of it.
