Please share photos once you get it. I went back and forth so many times on that.... if I ever go that route something will have to leave my garage...

If I could financially, there would be a Ducati Diavel, Ducati Panigale S, One Moto Guzzi, my Triumph Thruxton R, my Slim S, a new Sportster Roadster (love the looks and feel of that bike), and a Road Glide CVO in the cobalt blue colors my old RGC CVO had (I miss that bike due to the color combo it had).

That Diavel is amazing.

Enjoy it in good health.

Default Brown Fork Bag and Swingarm Bag

Hey I just recently bought a 2017 softail slim with the olive denim color and I was really interested in getting some bags like you have in the brown color. If you don't mind me asking where did you buy them?

Who was that addressed to?? Me? If so, that is the factory HD swing arm bag. Comes in black or brown.

I say this with the utmost respect... you bastard! What have you done!? I can't sleep, I can't think! I am looking at every video that I can find on that bike!!

So? You got yours?? Or do I have to go the Ducati forum to read about it!!

I am afraid to go and test ride one... for two reasons... When the VRod came out I fell in love with the looks... it took me a few years to test ride one... just because, no real reason other than I just knew that I would buy one out of impulse. When I did take it for a test ride, I was disappointed. It was not what I was expecting. I still love the looks but it was not the bike for me. Some of that is telling me not to test ride this Ducati. I love the looks... but will the ride be just as espectacular? And the second reason, if it rides like it looks... I might have to get a divorce, LOL!!

Hehheehh!!! Gonna try to to take the OL with me down to AMS
(the Dallas Ducati dealer) tomorrow... Still on the fence, but leaning
that way... IF I get one, I doubt I'll get the forged wheels 'accessory'
as shown above...

Forgot to say, I've seen ONE local and it looks BAD ***!!! Yep,
in all of this metro-plex, only one on the road.... Not sure if
thats a good or bad thing....

Jay is a bit 'hard to read', but he appears to like it....

So..... Wife & I went to AMS Ducati Dallas to look.
What can I say, dont hate me.... I did it.




I pick it up Tuesday. The above is me on the one 'right beside' the
one I bought. They made me a killer deal on a Ducati N.A. Executive's
personal bike, I'm cheap so I took the deal... It already has the
optional Termignoni exhaust on it as well as the 'sport shield' and
passengers backrest (cant believe that call it that, not much to it).
There's a sample of the exhaust.



More pics when I get 'around to it'
