Default Interesting...

I was behind a Ducati 748 this evening at the lights.

He pulled away quite fast and pulled a wheelie. While his front wheel was aloft the exhaust fumes had a blue tint suggesting oil burning.

Seems to support what I've heard previously that while wheelies are bad for all bikes they're particulary bad for V/L-twins.

It was a Ducati 748
They belong in your house as ornaments not pulling wheelies on the road.I'm surprised it got far enough to burn any oil before expiring.
