It's 10:39 pm so Mhanis is curled up with his teddy bear and dreaming of princess fairies right now. 

In other news, I did 550+ miles in the last two days.  Gotta say, the Multi is an amazing bike.  The bigger windscreen will be a god send and I can see the use of a center stand.  Not sure why everyone thinks the mirrors are so good, compared to my old VFR they are a joke.  Still better than any ducati I've even seen or ridden.  Complaining aside, this is clearly the best bike I've ever ridden.  Had the chance to take some great side roads with 30 - 35 mph corners.  Went though them at 70 - 75mph and constantly felt like the bike was just yawning at me.  The thing is just nuts.  I can't imagine what an  1198 super bike must be like.  Urban mode is fantastic for Houston and Dallas driving during traffic.  Never tried sport mode (too scared) but touring mode is nuts enough.  Great gas mileage, amazing power, super comfortable.  Pretty in an ugly sort of way, but it's growing on me.  For a touring bike this is more than perfect.  For a sports bike it can make fun of squids with little trouble.  Not sure of off road but it's a ducati so who wants to get it dirty?  Grin

Very happy.  Can't believe I'm saying that about a ducati again.   Dolph


Very cool.  Glad you like it  waytogo

Now, about that Arkansas trip...

Arkansas?  On the VFR maybe.  With the Multi I'm thinking more like Argentina!   Dolph

But yes, Arkansas would be just fine.

It's closer than Alaska... or Argentina.

I think September would be the time frame.  Four or five days  Dolph
