Re: 2011 Ducati Multistrada 1200 - COOL WALL VOTE: In Progre
Thanks for posting this Mike! Great info and I obviously voted AWESOME.

Re: mustang seats
I'd have to agree with Mike, BEST $ spent! I was at Sturgis with my 03 Fatboy (rode it from San Diego, CA) and went by the Mustang tent...$300 later left with a solo seat and had them ship my stock seat home. On the way home I took the longer way home

Re: Blueridge/276N/215S/BRPW/441S/19W/28N to129 Deals Gap
Good question Mike and an often asked one, I'd have to say the #1 was the BMW GS1200 for it's all around 3 bikes in 1...fun off road & surprisingly agile for it's size, powerful enough to cruz triple digits smoothly and can handle the twistees as aggresive as you can push her. I did 2 IBA rides ...

Thanks Mike, I got the pics taken from 129slayer.com and killboy.com they set-up at certain corners and when I noticed them I'd hook a U and make a couple passes.

Blueridge/276N/215S/BRPW/441S/19W/28N to129 Deals Gap
From Asheville, NC jumped onto the Blueridge Parkway heading towards US441, taking a couple of detours on 276N which is really tight and fun the southern route takes you to Brevard and that's not as tight with more traffic to deal with, then conected to 215S which was very tight and bumpy (it's well...
