380 km and counting
Sunday, June 13th, 2010I have my new bike, the Ducati 848 Dark… I still almost don’t believe it. These days I’m running around unable to wipe the smile off my face. I’m so proud you would not believe it 
This weekend I made already 380 km on it. All within the break-in phase of the engine, which means don’t rev it above 6000 rpm (max is 11.000 rpm) before a mileage of 1000 km is reached. There’s quite a lot of “feel for the machine” to regain after years of absence from motorcycle-riding. My cornering-skills aren’t as elegant as they should be - especially on such a Ducati - but there are still many weekends left in this season.
Too bad I couldn’t get the licence-plate “AC - MM 42″ like I wanted, that would have been the icing on the cake.
Iian, Thomas, Rodrigo and Nic when will we do a road-trip across Europe?
