Ran into (not literally) a Ducati guy while putting gas into my ride. I asked him how life was going with his Duck. He said it was like supporting a high end Italian whore. Talked to a couple of Harley riders at a social event. I kinda like Harleys but their owners are a different species than KLRistas. Their entire conversation consisted of descriptions of chrome bits they installed onto their bikes. Can anyone remember a single chrome thread on this list? Bogdan, who chose black over chrome when adding stuff onto his Bemmer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
