One of my best friends lives down a two mile long gravel road, so after years of riding down there, gravel really doesn't bother me. Rain on blacktop, that's a whole different story. Course...I dumped a bike doing 65mph on blacktop in the rain...so that may have a little something to do with that!

My "fear" if you can call it are the tar snakes and pies. I was in a hard 90* left turn, 98* temp and nearly lost it whne the back tire slid out on a big ole tar pie. I would have let the bike down but the wife was on so I jammed the left foot down. Next time I let the bike go down, to say the least that was painful. Now when I see them, especially in the hot weather I get a little nervous. But it all comes with the territory, if there was no danger I might as well be sitting in a rocking chair at the casa.

Hmmm if it isn't raining, how does the bike get washed? Looks good, one of the better looking Ducati's IMO. Some have that really rough look. A set of matching red leathers and your ready to rool.

I'm not worried about getting wet.. My dad always told me sugar melted and sh*t floats and that I would be just fine.
:-) The current tires are not cut to the outside so traction on wet surfaces is limited.

I think they read "go fast in turn" tires.
