Momma got her 4 wheels, I got my 2 wheels...vroom vroom!!

Post by PUCKER »

So, this Saturday was a bit of a different day, but QUITE a day, I must say. Momma has been wanting a vette ever since I got mine ('12 Grand Sport Centennial Coupe)....I've been wanting a Ducati Monster for a looooong looooong time.......so.....

I think the pictures tell the story......needless to say, we did "our part to help the economy" on Saturday LOL

Say hello to my wife's 2012 Corvette Grand Sport....

Then we made a trip to the toy store....

Next to my vette, still dirty from Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend (yes, that's where the "I really NEED my OWN vette came from LOL)....

My brother loves his Ducati - just not the time and $ spent on upkeep. Enjoy!

Nice Duc! I rode a Ducati for 6 years and it was the most fun I ever had on a bike. In my experience riding a Ducati is like dating a model. They are beautiful and a ton of fun, but tempermental, expensive and high maintenance. I loved my Duc but got too old for the drama! Good luck and enjoy!

Everyone: thank you, we are enjoying life (with the motorized toys)!

Yes, they are...! This particular model bucks, snorts and spits below 4,000 RPM (well, around 3.5K)...but keep her between 4K-8K...and she sings sweetly...well, with a very deep voice! :biggrinjester:

Can't even imagine what you will be driving once the economy picks up and we get out of this recession. :lol:

I think it's a WONDERFUL investment...at least in your mental health...riding a bike seems to clear the mind and free the soul...and, as a buddy of mine says "You feel like Superman, it's total freedom!" I like the Rune, it's wild/crazy looking and total impractical (as far as a commuter/touring bike)...and THAT'S why I like it! Note that my bike is pretty much the same way... :biggrinjester: :cheers2:

That only few American cars that I would ever be interested in
1) Midsize Cadilac ATS-V whenever this released.
2) A Supercharged Vette or a Z06.
3) The new VIper.
