Ducati!!

After I got rid of my Desmosedici two years ago I always wanted another bike, luckily I finally made the move to do so..









I picked up another Ducati after getting rid of SmartCar. I got a 1098s, that was stock for a lite before getting some things to add a little personal taste to it..





The Akrapovic Full EVO system, is full Titanium and has a max expansion chamber of 72mm. The weight savings and power increase are significantly noticed. Speedy Moto made a new clutch cover I though I'd try with the pressure plate, and Barnett Springs.


After getting the pipes on and clutch together I was happy with the overall result.








After about 300 miles ridden with the new exhaust the coloration in the pipes is pretty cool to look at let's see what other stuff i can throw on the bike!!

Bye Bye M5

Shortly after making the call to get the car picked up, I found out that my shipping cost was one way. So I got news of another total due when I was under the impression of round trip being payed for.. Ouchh
Horseless Carriage came the the W in Times Square to pick up the car and it was off to LA..



The parking structure had an elevator to ride io in order to park the car securely. It was pretty cool to ride up the lift and drive right off.














Passin over the goods..

Doing a round two because BlogPress on my iPad wants to keep crashing.
Here we go..



Here's the crew cruising the streets of Ottowa, we had a big group including James Bond of Undftd LA, Freddie Vegas, Estevan Oriel and Dj Muggs of the Soul Assasins and Cypress Hill, Mike from Franks Chop Shop in NYC, Marco Svizzero, Dustin Ross, Nu Getoh from Puma,and of course the Rogue Status/ DTA guys.





Just grabbin a few cookies at Obamas favorite cookie spot.


















The Scion had a break down causing a major traffic jam from all the cars seeing what was going on, the car was off to the dealer for the night so I had to lead the pack into Toronto for the night.





After the escort, great lunch, Obama cookies, and some car problems we finally made it into Toronto for a calm night then Off to NYC in the AM.
