I am, obviously, not dashing enough to wear that uniform, but make do with a more utilitarian uniform. Bill P.S. @KINDOY2, what’s the story on that cap? The triple-turreted insignia looks as if from an older Carabinieri rank "shoulder board," and the eagle is similar to a Mussolini-era Italian military eagle but sans the fasces. Anyway, thank you for adding to my military moto-museum collection! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum brakes, the original ABS. They don’t work like 4 pot Brembo brakes. But with the application of the rear brake and a little help from the transmission they get the job done. It takes all 10 fingers and all ten toes for sure. I was definitely tired after a weekend of trying to keep up with the 1100 and 1200’s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday, Nic and I went up 360 through the Dragon and took 28 all the way to the end in Georgia, cutting off at Walhalla. That's the best piece of road I've seen in the East and rivals anything I've seen out West either, one section of about 10 miles you could literally set your cruise control at 35mph and enjoy it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need one who can read, one who can write and one to keep an eye on the two intellectuals! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
