The Duc was fun, comparing chicken strips was the order of the day at bike meets - Some Male macho shit..

Half the fun of getting a duc was the number of things you can buy for it and also DIY.

Yeah..that low throb of a Vtwin instead of a high pitched scream of a 4...Its intoxicating.

yeah, these bikes are timeless...its really old design (1994) but still looks so good amongst the current crop of bikes.

I think someone needs to post something for the noobies about chicken strips. For those noobs reading this THEY ARE NOT A MEASURE OF IF YOU ARE A GOOD RIDER. I know plenty of 'good' riders who dont feel they have to use the very limit of their tyres, particularly on the street.
I heart the SSS
