"urban riding" ??? Ok, easy to turn on all car alarms driving close to parked cars with open exhausts, but Ducatis are made for FAST DRIVING in TWISTY ROADS! .... ok, i accept urban driving, if cute girls are there... :laugh:

Don't take "urban" to mean gridlock - I'm not in the country by any means, but I have access to some great twisties just a couple miles from my house. And of course, the further out you go, the better they get.

But there are two great big traffic circles near me, about a mile apart, which serve as my private skidpad when I'm feeling especially fiesty. On two wheels or four; I'd al;most swear they were designed by someone with racing in mind - or at least a motorcyclist.

But as I get closer to work, it does turn into a grid, for sure - I'm one block off the Syracuse University campus. So you can imagine the scenery, eh? And that Ducati exhaust Certain has its way of setting off alarms and turning heads ...
