Riding Ducatis with The Commander

[FastDoc]

My friend Scott and I went for a ride through some pretty deserted back country yesterday. I rode Sophia and he rode his wife's Ducati Monster. We switched back and forth. There are not many Ducks in this corner of the desert so it was nice to let the Italians play together since they came from the same home town.

Let me tell you it's nice to ride with a police commander.

"You go ahead, Commander. Go as fast as you like. I'll keep up" LOL!

Sophia. She is working her way to being the favorite bike I have ever owned. Those of you who know me know this is a very long list. Well over 50 bikes I'm sure, maybe twice that?

Monster Quack.

Riding with the Commander? Sounds like a free pass! :D

[FastDoc]

It's like a Stay Out Of Jail Free Card.

Also, we were way out there in the country/desert/farmland which is very unpatrolled anyways.

Worst thing is maybe hit a vulture.

[Weldangrind]

No, the worst thing is to be eaten by a vulture.

[FastDoc]

Valid point. :-)

As befits her name, Sophia is beautiful. :)

Did the commander speed? Inquiring minds want to know. :hehe:

[FastDoc]

It would be wise for me to not say but I could mention I was not slowed down from my chosen optimal cruising speed. ;-)

As Mel Brooks said, "It's good to be the king." :lol:

[FastDoc]

PM sent, Spud ;-)

[SpudRider]

I got the PM, Bill. ;)
