Had a good time. Snowy and frozen here so I got to sit on some bikes and that was fun!

I really liked the Ducatti 848, Daytona 675, and as always the Honda BR1000RR Repsol Edition. I was sitting on the 848 for a couple minutes a few different times, that bike is awesome.

This thread is total failure! So you come talk about all these nice bikes and you post NO PICTURES!

Moderators, BAN THAT MAN!!

nobody believes you with out pictures.. for all we know you just could have just woke up from a wet dream

I used to go to the motorcycle show every year, but then the convention center closed, they opened a new one right across the street, but they never started having the show again. I've definitely been going through withdrawal for years now.

No pics?

[confused]

dave_xb12r · Jan 29, 2011

Ron, I don't believe you actually went. I mean, can you show receipts or admission stubs? How do I know you're not trolling us and making us think that this duck and that british "pleasure bike", and that "I'm a cock" honda are really as cool as you say it is? Maybe you're just trying to get our hopes up. I hope you understand from our point of view.

The moral of the story?
#1 rule of the internets: Pics or it didn't happen.

#2 rule of the internets: If pics are not produced in the first post, resulting in pwnage, follow-up pics must include a blender as proof.

I went to the mich show in January, there was no Ducatti display or KTM [sad], I did get to meet Jason Britton and watch his stunt show [up]

Here he is signing my no limits tshirt
(not as cool as my hoody,but still cool)

ronmetzler · Jan 30, 2011

haha sorry guys. I didn't snap any pics bc there was so many people around and cell phone pics look crappy.

this is the Ducati I want

This is the 2009 model, the new one has red for the frame

batman6669 · Jan 30, 2011

I want the same bike but an 1198 instead of the 848. I'm sure the 848 has plenty of power but the 1198 has MORE

and they look the same. I want the dark grey[up]

batman6669 · Jan 30, 2011

Like this but the white is sweet also

Alfatango1 · Jan 30, 2011

and that british "pleasure bike"

Ummm hummm (coughing a bit)I have one of those pleasure bikes and it's a gem!

boreas · Jan 30, 2011

I know there was a thread earlier about the 125 duke,but that was the bike I wished I could see and sit on. I think it would be an awesome first bike for my son ( 16yrs old and just learning). too bad its not coming to the states or Canada [sad]. Looks like he would be starting on a blast or my drz 400!

crxtasy169 · Jan 30, 2011

Damn it I was going to buy one for my girlfriend and the save it for my 7 year old when she got older! I want to play on on!!! Why in the f*ck does the UK get all the good stuff?

dave_xb12r · Jan 30, 2011

That's alright. If it was shorter, and the salesman wasn't a dick, I would have one instead of a buell.

Naaa if he is in the market i say get him something he wont be tired of after a year.....xb12

Thats what i started on, and i have never been down and i still love it. However i got mine at 18.

boreas · Jan 30, 2011

I agree in being bored with in a year, but to insure a 16 year old on a 1200cc motor cycle would be more than the bikes a worth!! (in Canada) the insurance is rated by cc's and age. the bigger the bike the more you pay!!

Baal · Jan 30, 2011

Bored in a year is better than maimed in four months. Start small.

But this is OT. I think he photoshopped himself into that pic. Just sayin'.

Understandable!
Also i started on dirt bikes since real young so i had a respect for bikes and their power.
