Arrow
 

Saturday I ordered an Arrow half system for the 748... it's a birthday present for my husband. :dthumb:

With any luck, it will be in this week so I can have it installed by his birthday on the 19th. WOOHOO!!

Need I say it - you just freakin ROCK. He's going to be so excited!!!!!!!

Awesome. I heard a RC51 with Arrows on it. It was beautiful. I can imagine a Duc will be magical.

I wanted another set of Termis like the 998... but, they're too damn expensive. HA!

Cool! Good Luck! You're an awsome wife!

~Wish my so would hook me up like that!!

You rock. If I had some sort of SO, and she bought me bike parts, I would be truly happy in life.

My wife ain't buying me shit for my bike.

Nice choice. I think he will definatly like them. Make sure to post pics once it's installed.

Nice choice - can't wait to hear it!

:dthumb: I had the choice of CF or Titanium - and went with Titanium. Now that I have my own photog I'll get pics AND video. Then y'all can hear it...

Can't wait. :rockwoot:

The pasta eaters get so upset that I have Term's on the CBR... its blasphemy to them :lol:

I think that's BRILLIANT!! Where are the pictures? :) I'm curious to hear Termis on an inline four... have sound?

Yeah, sounds pretty decent. I can't take the credit, thats what was on there when I bought the bike. This is my track ho.

Too bad for them YAMAHA used termi's in motoGP... :lol:

:dthumb:

So, I get a phone call this morning from the duc-shop that the Titanium Arrow's are out of stock and discontinued... I have the choice of re-order something else in Titanium, or go with the Carbon Fibre. *sigh* CF it is...

Sorry to hear that! Good luck!

:wtf: they disco'd the Ti?! fuck that... that's gay

very much so!

My wife hates getting me bike-related stuff. But when she asks me what I wantand I tell her it's something for my bike, she gets it anyway. So far she's gotten me a Shoei, Pilot Powers, my first 1-peice and track 'glass. Thinking I'll ask for a full Graves system or something for the anny/x-mas gift.

that's bad ass... I imagine what she doesn't like doing is trying to pick out things for your bike for you... that's probably why she buys what you pick out... :idk:

either way... that's fuck'n cool as hell

I get that and she gets $850 necklaces, haha. And 1200 dollar cameras, hahaha.

damn... ya'll roll'n in money!?

I need to get married mil to mil...

Interest-free credit cards, my friend.

ahh yeah I have two... :dthumb:

I know. I'm with you on that. But, here's how the Ducati world works... my bikes are now OLD. The rest of the crowd has moved on to at least the 999's and 1098's. :shrug: Pretty soon, the dry clutches will be a thing of the past.

The interesting thing with the bikes I have, I can interchange parts between the three of them. I mean, the 998 and 748 are damn near identical other than the actual motor - even then they have the same injectors and sensors. Even the 1994 monster has parts that have just evolved to the newer bikes. They haven't done that with the new ones.

They do that though with the 848, 1098, 1098s and 1098R. They all have some interchangeable parts.

Yummmy.... just arrived. Now running off to put them on :)

Nice.

Motherfucker... no adapter in the box... would you think, if you order a 45-to-50mm system, that they would get you the 50mm exhaust with the 45-to-50mm adapter??!?!

Now, do you think I looked for it while at the shop??!? No... I didn't notice until I had the exhaust off. Not that it was difficult, but STILL!! UGH.

Just called the shop, and they're going to "see what they can do". It probably won't be before tomorrow. Evan will be home at 11:30 - with the cans in the box. grrrrrrrrrrrr

damn zoom that sucks...again

Goddamn Eye-ties and their lack of quality control!!!

OK, so after trying to find a part that Arrow doesn't make any longer - the midpipe is a thing of the past. I mean, I found a guy in California, but he wanted to charge me another $200 for something I supposedly had already. :td:

I returned the Arrow slip-ons to the DucShop - and went online. I found a Termi half system for less than I paid for the slip-ons! Woot!!!

So, now it's on... the pipes took me all of 34 seconds to get off, and about 20 minutes to put on. But, the on doesn't count against me... Evan wanted to do it himself (drinking beer) :lmao: It SOUNDS fantastic!! And, now the bikes are closer to matching than before.

Awesome. The termi was meant for that bike anyways :rockout:

Got pics?

fuck pics! you better post videos zoom!

OK, I have pictures :)

Stock.

Sickness.

:lol: looks like you get all the good shit on your bike first

that was her engagement "ring"...

that's fuck'n awesome! Zoom you got any sisters? :lol:

:lmao:

Yes, I do... they're both married. One into bikes, the other not.

The master plan with the bikes is to make them *identical*. Getting new fiberglass for both - white, with black logos. White tanks... getting a CF airbox and runners for the 748. One side will have my company logo on it - the other side the track's logo. Each bike will have them on different sides - so when they are parked next to each other you can see both logos. The 998 has black everything (rearsets, clutch, wheels), the 748 has silver.

Fun times.

Awesome, I'm impressed! (And disappointed you don't have any single sisters!)

NOOOO SHIT!

theres always cloning! :willy:

Too Slow!!!!

Damn. What a couple of gorgeous bikes.

Sweet setup on both bikes like that. :rockwoot:

BTW, I don't mind if your sisters are married...:whistle:

What a great idea!

That shit looks friggin' great. Awesome.

Sound clip???? :drool:
