That was a good one Bob!



You're spot on in your suspicions of Japanese innovation. Of course the Japanese are copying HD for there dual shocks and flexy frames. You see, it's just like the proverbial broken clock....it's always correct twice a day! By doing nothing, HD has been rewarded and vindicated for their superior design, it just took the Japanese, Italians, and everyone else 20 years to realize the error of their ways. In another 20 years, the venerable pushrod will be hailed as the next revolution in racing technology, HD simply has to hold tight until then.

When will the Japanese and Italians ever learn (from HD).....as the saying goes "they just don't build things like they used to".

I think the name should be changed to WDE, i.e. World Ducati Exhibition. Wake me up when it's over. Here's hoping that Honda has some competition in MotoGP, otherwise it'll be nearly the same, except that the wins should be more evenly distributed amongst the Honda riders.

Re: What they didn't mention

Johnny my man, much of this thread has been employing an obsolete, antiquated literary device called satire, something HD afficionados can readily identify with, heh, heh.
