Well, as one would conclude... I'm new here. I've 'known' about this site for a while, but didn't stumble upon it until I was running a Google search for Pirelli Diablo tires.
I'm a cranky olde phart... Been riding (on 'n off... but mostly on) since the early '70s. I've owned many different brands of bikes over the years and I'm currently down to two... A '94 Ducati 900SS/CR and my '99 Blackbird. My Duc is The Toy that I'll play with on twisty (local) mountain roads and at the track. While my 'Bird is The Bike... The Duc's a hoot, but the 'Bird is the Word! I've been a Sport Tourer since WAY before the tern was coined. I racked up my first 1k+ mile day on my then new '77 KZ650B2 way before there was an Iron Butt Assoc. Back then it was the 1000 in 1 club... I probably still have the patch somewhere.
I don't get to ride as much as I would like... The trials and tribulations of single parenthood. And am looking forward to my daughter's high school graduation!!!

Until then, I'm religated to one or (maybe) two long road trips a year.
Oh, yeah... My (mechanical) babies...
