Congrats! Do you find the Panigale comfortable? I test rode the first Panigale available at Fast By Ferracci some years back and couldn’t imagine riding it for more than 20-30 min on the streets.

Yes, I do. Much more so than my MV F41000s or Paul Smart LE. I rode a close friend's 1299 S twin on a recent trip to Iowa. I spent 2 hours on his Panigale S before moving over for two hours on his K1300s HP. It was that 2 hours on his Panigale that prompted me to look into a new bike. Found out Ducati was releasing this Corse Edition and decided I had to have one.

My 1st street bike was this 1980 Honda 750 Custom.
In 1980 I took it on a 7-day, 2900 mile trip up to Estes Park and then down to the Grand Canyon and then back to Texas. No fairing or leathers - about killed me on this long trip!! |

Brother just sent this pic of us on a couple of our motorcycles outside the barn we stored them in (we had another dozen inside) on our family farm. Must have been around 1995. I'm on the '72 Triumph T100R 'Daytona' and he is on a '72 BMW 75/5. Great fun and both ran like new.

Do recall fondly the Sunday morning gatherings and ride from New Hope (until banned as new crop of properly PC city leaders took over - too sad).

I owned a few Moto Guzzi bikes and that “V7 racer version” was a fun ride. In fact another member of AA bought and enjoyed that bike from me. I’ve had quite a few different bikes over the years... New Hope was always a fun destination and I’ve ridden in the area for a few decades. Motorcycles are still gathering at New Hope but I do recall they were strictly enforcing noise regulations at one point. It would be very unusual not to see motorcycles at New Hope weather permitting. I have not ridden at all past five years and I don’t think I will anymore but I certainly live in the area where I could enjoy riding on the scenic back roads. Perhaps if I really get the itch again... I may pick up another bike. Do you ride at all? I do see quite a bit of older couples enjoying the 3 wheeled Harley and other brands as they are easier to manage, more stable and comfortable. It’s never too late to enjoy the open air riding. |
