Hey 777:
I just wanted to offer my congrats on your Valentine's gift!! Couldn't have found a better girlfriend.
I actually managed to take my Brute out for a quick ride this past Saturday...Good thing I went early because it started to snow later in the afternoon.
My buddy from Michigan came over to visit me. I think I may have just turned him into an MV fan. He is (was) a big Ducati fan. He rode my bike and absolutely loved it. Even more so, he just loved the look of the bike. The only thing he kept saying is, "if Tamburini didn't leave Ducati, these we be the new Ducatis." Who actually knows that?? The poor guy. He also never saw a Brutale up close, as he said there are no nearby MV dealerships near him, the closest being Chicago.
Good weekend I must say...After our late morning ride in the cold, we caught the World's Fastest Indian. Pretty good flick. Afterwords, we headed over to the Chicago bike show in Rosemont. Best MV display they have had thus far. There was a red and white F4 1000 that was absolutely breathtaking, all covered with lots of carbon fiber. Yeah, we definitely have to add the F4 1000 to the garage.
The Ducati Sport 1000 was also sharp as hell. Much better than the Paul Smart (I think its just the color scheme)...I still spent most my time near the MVs. Damn, those bikes are sharp!!
Again, congrats on the new toy...Keep your front tire pointing to the heavens.
Have fun...
