Wow - you could have a lot of fun with a title like that couldnt you.

Im not talking sister's, Im talking twin related toys. Due to an amazing wife, and a much improved stock market. I get to indulge in my love for high powered twins.

Last year, my wife said - you should get yourself another Harley (I had sold the last one to finance some home improvements - I had 2 other bikes) and actually talked me into the new bike. I was responsible and I sold my Ducati in order to get it, but she talked me into getting a Fatboy "I really like the ones with flames on it". Twin #1: HD 103ci V-Twin



Then the Christmas specials came around, and knowing how much I wanted to add some power to my C5 - the order went in for my TTi-X kit. Im now anxiously awaiting the end of the month and a trip to Synergy for the install. Twin #2: Twin Turbo Widebody C5

Im happy and content (though Im a Ducati-less Ducatidave at this point). So just this weekend my wife says "I dont like your R6, you have crashed at the track twice - its bad luck - you should by a Ducati - didnt you say a new one is coming out". I tell her there is, but Im really fine, I dont need a new bike right now. As Im talking she is online on the Ducati website, and says "See this one is pretty, you should get this ..."

the line was baited, the hook was set, and reeled. Im getting the 4th one that comes into Monterey Powersports after February. Twin #3: Ducati 160+ hp V-twin

Now I just need to finish selling my R-6, and Im on the phone with the jeweler - I was reeled in and now Im dealing with the hook. Funny this thing in my lip doesnt feel that bad.

 

Oh man.... That's the one I wanted but finances wouldn't permit it. I'm getting the regular 1098 but I think it will be a great bike still without the extras ( ohlins,termignoni pipes,cool italian colors, gold wheels) I can't wait it's supposed to be here around the 1st of Febuary. Some say might be the best ducati superbike ever produced. We shall see. I currently have a 998 and will not part with it and some others but I will always try to stay a Ducatiest. Good luck to you with the purchase and keep the rubber side down...

 

I love the looks, feel, and handling of Duc's. It was a tough decision withe the 749S. In retrospect I should have sold the R6 for the Harley. However, it paved the way for something even better.

 

I like them both



My idea of twins below

 

Does your wife have a sister?????

 

Sweet!! Ill have to get some pics up when it gets nice again, But im also a Ducatiest (is that really a word?). 05 monster S2R. not quite a 998 or 1098, but fun little bike. And sounds mean as @#$!

heres to Italian bikes and American sports cars!

 

You my friend are a lucky man to have a wife like that. Congrats on your new toys.

 

Sounds like you two have a good relationship Here are my last two twins. With a few mod's I perfered the TLR, olins shock, full M4 system, Marchensi magnesium rims and tuning.

 

That new 1098 is bad a$$. It not only performs like the big guns but looks like a Ducati again.

Darion

 

I cant wait - at this point, I dont even have a date for its arrival yet.

I was tempted to cal the thread Ive got a great wife (cause I do) but the twins one sounded a lot funnier.
