    She sounds nice. Repacked the silencer and obviously did other things while apart.

    How? I'm not sure. Looking through the exhaust port I can see some "bur" texture. Transfer ports into the cylinder don't really show that. Sales manager said it was gonna be cnc ported but he couldn't tell me exactly what would be done. I had the choice of either an MX port, woods port or a middle ground of a little of both. I opted for the woods port.

    Lol.

    A woods port is the right choice for most riders.

    Well Horkn, this girls fun!!!! I can't tell ya how Millennium's port job is cause I redid the top end, plus a higher compression head, and an SX CDI box all at the same time. Can say their replate and hone job look top notch. She made 150psi before starting it for the first time. I got about 30 miles in today. Might check it with a buddies compression gauge. Mines at home.

    I'm 6 time Dragon trash and proud of it. No trailers involved. Cherohala Skyway and the Moonshiner (Rt 28) also great roads right there. As is the Blue Ridge Parkway from Maggie Valley to Asheville.

    Shoot, keep going south on the BRP! It’s all good! Been to 129 twice, stayed in a cabin on moonshiner. Cherohala is thee greatest motorcycle road ever period. Wife and I went down on the Duc, did 2500 miles in 5 days. Honestly, it was too much [fun].

    Me too!!! If you can remember the date and approximate time, those photog guys keep the pics available for a good period of time. Ducati needs new doughnuts and that ain’t gonna be cheap. :emptywallet:

    I haven't hit the dragon yet. That said, hwy 1 in n California is not beatable by any road. I've hit many of those in the top 10 list before, but it's seriously not matchable by anything else.

    So what are you running on the multistrada , st tires or full on sport bike tires? If I were you, I'd go metzeler m9rr . The m7rr prior versions were so good, still running them in the TL , and the, m9rr are even better. That is unless you want a S/T tire. I can't speak due his you ride through
