Nice pair

bwhip · 08-09-2007, 04:07 PM

...of race bikes, that is. What were you thinking?

Got the Duc bodywork back from my buddy yesterday, and put the decals on late last night. (Nice job, Tyler!).

I think it makes a nice complement to the 600, but mostly I just like that they all match my leathers, boots, gloves, etc.

They'll look better next year when I can run white number plates instead of my novice yellow.

In any event, they're ready for Labor Day, and my final three rounds of the race season!

CBR929RE · 08-09-2007, 04:13 PM

I hate you more with each picture.

damn those are pretty

excellent paint scheme on the Duc, but I don't recall seeing you smoking.

SheepOfBlue · 08-09-2007, 04:35 PM

I think that is the first time I have seen frame sliders on a Duc

ONEvcs · 08-09-2007, 04:39 PM

Very nice threesome indeed...

Shenders1 · 08-09-2007, 04:51 PM

The 1098 makes a great looking racebike - It's the first one I've seen in track plastic.

TornadoB8 · 08-09-2007, 04:52 PM

Yeah...he is a closet Whinston smoker.

The OEM plastics have not been drilled, nor will they be.

ccwilli3 · 08-09-2007, 05:47 PM

that's a man's tire on the back of that 1098!

Hammer · 08-09-2007, 06:30 PM

Nice collection you have there mister.

Bacchus · 08-09-2007, 06:31 PM

Wow! Those sure are purty!!

seamus · 08-09-2007, 07:11 PM

I think they look gay.

j/k I'm hatin' too. What's with the photo shop background though?

Kind of a quick slam job, but mostly to put the focus on the bikes and minimize visual distractions (like kwhip's horse trailer).

maxib · 08-09-2007, 08:55 PM

Breathtaking!!!!

If I saw you unload those bikes next to me at a race I'd think "This guy is factory sponsored". Then I'd start loading my bike into the trailer hoping you would not be at next weekend's race.

The 'priller needs decals so as not to feel left out.

davef · 08-09-2007, 09:42 PM

That's a good lookin' set of triplets.

Leelover · 08-09-2007, 11:06 PM

"Pair" nothing, Nice triplets

All three are beautiful! Great job on the selection of types and models. AND all the trimmings! No wonder we have an "I hate bwhip" thread!

No hate here, just admiration!

Good thinking. The background is probably what everybody here would have been focusing on. I think you just lost a couple of minutes of that sweet life of yours

Real nice my friend, real nice

RedRider · 08-09-2007, 11:29 PM

Mighty nice!

Note to myself.......... Work on my bike so it looks as half as good as BWhip's

maxib · 08-10-2007, 01:13 PM

You know, if he wasn't such a nice guy I'd consider calling him a dirty name...like poseur. Since he is, I won't.

Actually, I admire the confidence that bwhip has not binning a bike to dress them up so well!

It's hard to tell from the photos, but the frame sliders actually expand automatically into giant training wheels if the lean angle exceeds the pre-established limit.

I thought there was an actuator in your elbows.
