DribbleDuke
Some time back I posted that my SD had cleared its clocks and showed no mileage on the odometer. I asked if this had happened to any other Dukes in Dukedom and recieved no respounces of this occurance from others. I pulled the Super Duke out for a ride today and turned on the ignition to find, once again, cleared clocks, no mileage on the odometer and a time stamp of 12 oclock. It occured to me that there had been occasion, Super Duke had heard me talking about how much monetary depreciation I had been subjected to from my original purchase price and the fact that You can purchase a brand new one for roughly eight grand. The only thing that I can summize is that Super Duke is trying to make the financial hit to my wallet a little less traumatic and that the only way she has in her power is to make her an absolute joy to ride and clear her clocks every so often so I effectively have a brand new motorbike. She does do other things also, but I must admit I take these other things for granted. She refuses to leave me stranded, she will show you a full veiw of her belly pan at the flick of my wrist in second gear. I am not talking a peak at it I am saying she will show it off all the way down the street to any one who wants a look. She refuses to spew oil from her oil level tube. She does not act up and get all snatchy and tempermental. She willingly dives into corners others would sit up and refuse to try. She keeps this up and I will never need another new bike. Like turning back the hands of time, hell I think she is making me anew.
