Ducati and pretty blonde pictures
Not CB related per se but I figure you fellow motorheads out there would appreciate pictures of this fine piece of Italian kinetic sculpture. For those of you who don't like cool bikes there's always Nancy.
Never mind the old guy in the sunglasses. The photographer is Mark, my friend, and he is a professional. He's learning how to photograph exotic cars and motorcycles, and airplanes so I am 'helping' him out ;-)

Quite remarkable composition. In some of the pics, the lighting around the bike makes the backdrop look like a painting. I mean that as a compliment to Mark.

He's very good at details, and very technically minded.
He's a retired super-genius engineer with a mind for the art and science of photography.

The pics were taken next to the runway at our airport last night. Mark is also a pilot.

I'm absolutely in love with it. I tried the new C14 but was not happy with it. it just doesn't feel as nimble as my C10. part of that is because I have a ZRX1100 front end and a Meanstreak rear wheel with a ZZR1200 rear shock. I can run modern 17 inch rubber and have better suspension than a stocker. I have yet to find something else that has the feel of this bike, proper room and comfort for two up, and weather protection.

Nothing like it, especially in that price range.
Similar in feel and ergonomics and function to a R100 airhead boxer BMW IMHO. That's great company for the long haul. The C14 is simply too much. It no longer meets the mission requirement.
