right then, another superb morn for a long bit of ride...and what better way to kick it off with a couple of yer riding mates who bring spectacular bits of euro machinary by for the eyeballs to lust over...that is, as soon as they can focus because its now about 7:30 in the friggin' morn...

right then, time to get on with the business...let's see then, eyeballs functioning...check...throttle hand readied...check...braking fingers primed...check...brain cells loosened...check...checkbook for bailing the whole lot out of jail...check.

in view in the non rolled over image is one Johan Harris and his spectacular red Ducati 999, Kevin Conlon who has already made his way into the house trying to sniff out coffee, and Emile Bootsma, back from Euro land where he stood point guard over a bazzillion dollar yacht he'll be piloting expertly, as he does the same with the carbon shod Ducati 900MHe that received the gawkers stares no matter where we went...

in the rolled over image, well then , Kevin and Emile have a discuss about the aforementioned's intricacies...from one off unique bolts to a tach that looks all the business, it is really quite smarting indeed...

right then, off we go go...
