Bought another Ducati (I just cant stop...)
« on: August 05, 2007, 12:36:33 PM »
Red 2007 Monster s4r




Custom "engine like sounds", working headlite, removeable training wheels, 2 speed, etc..
I choped the tail and put an old license plate on their as well. My nephew's 3rd b-day is today so I figure I would start him on the motorcycles early on in life (my job as a cool uncle  ;D).

So now he can make it to the end of the block cruise nights with the other kids in style.. ;D

LMAO!

Did you test the Brembos up front and make sure that set up right? ;D


That's what I'm planning on doing for my nephews in a few years.  Good stuff!

At first the nephew was just diggin the horn button, but after my sister took it for a spin (she's 100 lbs.) he was all about it. We literally had to tear him offa it (so I am guessing he likes it).

Should of seen the peoples faces on the tollway when I would cruise past them with that little bike strapped down in the back of my truck  ;D

Nice one Joe, nothing beats being able to be a bad influence on your siblings kids 8


I bought this for my 5yo niece, my sister is less than impressed ;D

It's all cool until you receive a speeding ticket in the mail against your old tag.   ;)

I talked with my sister yesterday, and from what I was told Jr. was on the Ducati all day.
He actually rode it untill the battery started to die off, then took a nap while it charged and was back on it later in the day (what a life eh?)
