    Riding weather is here !

    Time to start the yearly fleet rotation riding cycle today out and about with the 1199S Tricolore (Italianicon for 3 colours) they are an end of run bike.
    This bike new in 2012 with all the goodies the chap put on it and had done made it a $45,000/Aud motorcycle fairly expensive but the 1199 Superleggera was around $80,000/Aud.

    Anyhow;
    Out riding with some good friends today so gave my wife the opportunity to ride our 1199S Tricolore.
    I will say she handled it very well nothing silly reckoned the bike was smooth that's until the bumps in the road started.
    The retort then was the bike is very stiff and the seat uncomfortable (It has a comfort seat) welcome to Panigale land !
    She was very happy to get back on her Supersport Ducati anyway good for her having as go of a fairly angry bike.

    So I'm pretty happy considering what that bike will do if you really throttle it up!
