Weekday solo ride to Point Reyes Station

A nice tourist took this picture for me! Thanks!

Solo HW1 run to Point Reyes Station, originally uploaded by Speedy Chung.
It has been too long since I rode her for a longer trip. Took a Friday off and took my Classic out for a nice relax morning ride. Oh boy, I miss that feeling - she was smooth and full of fun. The only small complain is the clutch - after 15K mile it is about time to replace the dry clutch plates - it starts slip a little when I push hard from stop light. Beside that everything runs as it should be - and it was a very nice ride!

About time you got some SC content up! Your pictures are what urged me to pursue ownership of a Sport Classic :-)

I found someone on Ducati.ms selling gauge lowering mounts and got a pair. It's nice having the gauges face me and not my chest.

You surely right - spend too much time on my SF-S and haven't have enough riding time on my Classic. Make sure you check out the Streetfighter Blog... :)

You should totally get the lower mount - it is one of best thing I did to my bike. But I would not recommend anyone who ride at night a lot since it actually lowered my headlight a bit - meaning less light out in the dark road ahead. Check out my pict on the mount review... you can compare the before and after photo.

Good luck man!
