Bimota has done it again, but they have reengineered the way motorcycles work at this point. Extraordinary work has been put into this motorcycle since it is a center-hub steered motorcycle. I’m extremly intrigued by this motorcycle since it has the new Ducati engine, thats what the D in 3D stands for, and it is very light. Only 29 of these motorcycles will be made and they are going for $38’000. I was expecting a lot more expensive, but they priced it based on the workmanship. Bimota keeps coming up with more and more beautiful motorcycles.
To start off the day it wasn’t too bad going to work since it was cold and crisp! I put my laptop in my back pack and headed off to work. It seemed sunny from my window. The one thing that I didnt see until I was riding was the heavy fog and I have to say that its a bit freaky not being able to see, and the streets were a bit damp so I was taking it easy while I was riding, and since I could only see so much in front of me I was playing it very safe and looking beind me as well so I could avoid any idiots thinking the road was empty.
After finishing up work I took to the Gulf road and I just wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather! The cold weather with this sunny light couldn’t get any better. I started the on the Gulf Road from Shuweikh and took it all the way to Marina Cresent for my first stop. I think I like stopping there because its a bike friendly mall and extremly nice setting just to relax for a bit before continuing the ride.
There was a crowd at Marina Cresent with a big event, it seemed like NBK was there and Wataniya so I just stopped for a quick bottle of water.
When I stopped it was the first time I see three Honda CBR 1000RRs, and there was a brand new black one which was very nice. I really like Japanese bikes but in Kuwait the companies that sell them don’t have good service so Im not into them that much. I especially liked the black one since it was clean and new, Im just hoping the owner doesnt damage the bike. It hurts to see a damaged bike or someone who doesn’t take care of their bike. It was a nice ride after work and then I headed home to sit with the family before lunch.
Im the type of person that can’t stop loving the heart that people put into their work! You have to love it, and this is one company that I really enjoy looking at the pieces of art that they keep producing. The two motorcycles that Confederate Motorcycles make is the Hellcat and Wraith. I would lean more towards the Hellcat because it has that menacing and scary look when its standing in front of you. You shouldn’t be decieved by their design they are quite capable motorcycles especially the Hellcat, it looks good as well as handles really well. These machines go for $40’000 and above. They have the 1950s look to them with 21st technology design and technology, its a great creation of the creative mind.

This is going to be a good day! Reminds me of being in San Francisco when its just one of those days I look forward to freezing my butt off on the bike!

I dont think Im missing anything but this time Im giving anyone a window who wants to spot me on the road. You might see me or a black blur depends on your luck. Now you see me .. now you dont!
The funny part is that Im not even thinking about work.
I dont know how long it has been since I rode my bike, but all I know is that I need to get on my bike and ride post haste. I dont know how long it has been since I rode but it feels like it has been ages. I rode a bit I think on Friday morning but its still not enough for the amount of riding that I want to do. I want at least a 3-4 hours of riding in dry cold weather. Im looking forward to riding in the cold weather because stopping at a light will warm things up and now I can wear some material under my jacket which keeps me warm, and the Dainese leather jacket does a fantastic job of keeping the cold wind from really affecting me.
I need to ride to get the stress of work out, to get some private time, and to think about all that I want to think about. Its like restarting your PC. Having it nice and fresh after restarting it, and thats how Im going to feel after a good ride. I don’t mind the cloudy weather, I would rather it doesnt rain so I can enjoy my time a bit.
Triumph went back to the drawing board when they were developing every piece of this beautiful motorcycle. And the Daytona 675 won the International Bike of the Year award and its well deserved.
I love my Daytona 675 it has so much low end torque and the handling on the Daytona is amazing it flicks left to right without any effort. It also has an amazing look to it and it stands out from all others.
And more pics of my Datyona 675 can be seen on flickr!

After a good day of riding in the San Francisco and around the 9 me and Eric headed back to the apartment to wash up the bikes. It was fun as hell riding around all those corners, but the one thing that got on my nerves was that the bikes weren’t clean. So we parked the bikes next to the car wash area and we filled the buckets with water for the sponges. I was using a grime spray on the bikes that sits for 2 mins then we wash it off with the hose and then we go over it with the sponges. It was great getting down and dirty, also a little wet… well very wet. I had a good spray that I got from the San Jose Yamaha Dealership, the sprae parts guys there are great, and it gets all the oils spots off of any engine part, cleans it right off. After about an hour of cleaning the bikes were sparkling and I was happy as hell! I wanted to give them enough time to dry off. We finished just as the sun was setting what a perfect day!

I went for one more helmet from Scorpion and some more protection around the legs from Alpinestar. I went for the Matte Red Rivet since I have seen it before and I really think it is cool as hell, and I went for the Alpinestar Bionic Knee protection which I hope is comfortable as well as protective. I could wear it under my jeans. The helmet goes for $200, and the knee armor goes for $70 which isnt bad.
Now I just have to wait for their arrival.

This is the combination between the K1200R and the K1200S motorcycle that BM has lined up. I think they are taking the best of both worlds and putting them together. Im not sure when they are coming out with it, but it will strike down the middle for people who’s taste is in between the two.
First off I would like to thank Tristar for giving me the chance to try this bike, I really liked the bike, and I do think its a fantastic bike with all its features. But I dont think its the right time to buy a second bike at this point. The KTM SuperDuke reacts completely different to the same obstacles that I have tried with my K1200R. Its really a fantastic bike which gives you raw control over this superb machine. It does what its supposed to do and more. You just want to take it on turns, and its got a motor full of toque. Im going to write a full review later, but I wanted to thank Tristar again for the superb service and my next bike will probably be from Tristar.
