Be there for sure checking out "real bikes" that do something other than go in a straight line and look good. Love to watch all the lam's(look at me) and their non dot/snell approved kraut helmets and leather fring, as they pull out of the bars and such, on their really loud 85hp slugs! Hee Hee Harley boys...watch out for the yellow plague! :D

Sounds like someone thinks there answer to "riding" is the only one that really matters....lol Damn, I don't give a shit what kind of bike YOU ride. Whatever.....to each his own.

They're both V-twins with older tech.
At least HD's has valve springs :)
Do you know why Ducs have desmodronic valves, Ducatista?
CA Stu <-- Triumph Triples are the only way to go, torque like a twin, powerband like a four...

CA Stu <-- Triumph Triples are the only way to go, torque like a twin, powerband like a four... Acutally the Duc's are L-twins or 90 degree twins, and yes the Desomdromic design has been around for a long time. To obtain good results with a spring system, it is necessary to find a compromise between heavier spring loading requirements (possibility to turn at high RPM, while preventing valve bounce) and lighter spring loading requirements (loss control, loss being the amount of work necessary to open the valves against the spring loading: it should be remembered that the camshaft is driven by the engine; and smaller sizing of the parts involved, proportional to the spring loading).
These problems are all solved by a desmodromic system: smoothness (and consequently, decreased losses) at low RPM and reliability at high RPM (without valve bounce) are obtained.
Ducati has consistently used its desmodromic system ever since 1956. It is the only manufacturer in the world to have applied it to anything from standard production bikes to Superbike glory: the achieved standard of excellence mirrors Ducati corporate technology.
Maybe there is a good Duc joke hear....Ok Ca Stu...Why do Duc's use the Desmo design?
