@Graeme:

@summ3rhays I say your Triumph pictures on Instagram too. Looked a fun evening.

What did you think of the Thruxton R? I'm tempted by one, but waiting for them to release more details before making my mind up.

The bike looked solid.  I like the upgraded components, Brembo and Ohlins.  It was comfortable to sit on and was more forgiving than my Sport Classic.

@Rawdad:

Some nice scoots on here. Here is my 2012 RKC.

very nice allthough i think the bars would be a strech for me

[harley dave]

Thanks, I'm 6'4, so they are actually very comfortable. I went to the apes from beach bars. With the beach bars I would get shoulder pain on long rides.

[harley dave]

yes i had beach bars on one of my road kings but they gave me shoulder pains ,changed to mini apes and soooooooooooo comfortable

Thanks.

I get the impression that a medieval torture rack would be more forgiving and comfortable than a Sport Classic.

i would not pay someone 65 bucks to bend up a wrench and drill two holes in it
i can do that myself in minutes

When it comes to tools, my most recommended one is this:

What do you think @Haddtoo 555

[Haddtoo 555]

I'd make room in my toolbox for that, looks highly effective, thanks for sharing.  @Aetas

Ducati have unveiled the DraXter concept in Verona, which is a drag racing take on the XDiavel with a dubious name and a suitably pretentious video.

I like the XDiavel, but would swap out the forward controls with a set of mid or rearsets given half a chance. Yes, I know, I'm missing the point. But a production version of the DraXter (ideally with a more sensible name) would very much appeal.

There are more photos of the DraXter on Ducati's Facebook page.

Totally agree.
