i got to ride a ducati diavel at euro moto 2013. it is definitely more bike than i can handle. even mild revs before dropping the clutch about blew me off the seat. the experienced riders there probably lol'd at my shocked newbie start, haha :'( still, when i got onto the track: OMG
reminded me that i have a LOT to learn, all the props for having a shiver were going to my head. :-( felt a little bit like a poser after that (i am)
oh, and we had to park on a fairly steep incline. the old dude on his harley DROPPED his bike trying to curl in to back up, and i nearly did the same trying to swerve around him. only my upper body strength saved me. YIKES. a humbling day!
need to get the pics off my phone!
