Are those training wheels? Just kiddin' - nice looking bike! A friend had something similar in college; what a speed rush on those things!

it's missing 2 wheels, isn't it?

I'll stick with my truck. Less chance to kill myself.

I'm not a cyclist so this may be a dumb question. Normally isn't the seat connected to the rear wheel with some kind of bar or something? It looks like when you sat on your seat it would bend down or bounce a lot or something.

Do you have helmet and suit to match the bike Duc? One of the things that I could never get used to about the Ducatis and Aprilias is the one connection to the rear wheel..I like having something on both sides..

E-Chick, I didn't think the leather was appropriate for this pic. Besides, it was taken before going to one of the many local drinking establishments.

Bullwinkle, yes I do have a hand-painted Shoei helmet with an American and Italian flag on either side. Also, the single-sided swing arm is actually 70% more stiff than the previous double-sided version. It also makes chain tightening very easy. Twins eat chains for lunch....
