從 UDN(聯合電子報)上看到了 W6 女生宿舍一站，竟然有 Ford 贊助的女孩子學開車日記。有趣。連載文章中可以觀察到許多人對於道路和駕駛的典型印象，看來又是個書寫的好素材。網站有個小論壇，不然也來去湊個熱鬧。此時不免又想，哪一天才可以讀到女孩子學摩托車的日記？或是，摩托車哪要怎麼學，不是跨坐上去轉轉油門，能走就OK了嗎？

後記：似乎女孩子比較願意付錢學開車，那我還是跳槽來去教開車？

包含新款三汽門的 ST3、Multistrada DS(dual spark) 和數量的 Matrix 限量版。 MULTISTRADA

The Multistrada 1000 DS is a new generation sport bike that delivers Superbike performance without compromise. Whether your journey takes you up twisty mountain roads, to busy city centers or on your daily commute, the Multistrada excels wherever there is asphalt. Delivering performance without sacrificing practicality, versatility without compromising road-manners and advanced design without forfeiting function, the Multistrada 1000 DS is a real-world motorcycle for real-world riders.

Features include: a 1000 Dual Spark air cooled engine, quality componentry throughout and a dedicated line of Multistrada accessories.

MONSTER

The original “naked" motorcycle, the Ducati Monster created an overnight sensation when it was launched over a decade ago. Today, it defines the class more than ever. An essential street fighter — with its fully exposed engine and bodywork — the Monster delivers style and real sport bike performance. Individual and self-assured, it always makes a statement.

New features for 2004 include: the Monster S4R with double stacked race exhausts, the Monster 1000 with its Dual Spark engine, the Monster 620 with the new Power Torque Clutch (PTC) system and new mirrors for improved visibility for the entire family, Brembo “Serie Oro" brake calipers and disks on the Monster 800, and anti-theft immobilizer activated by key transponder.

SUPERBIKE

The Ducati 749 Testastretta and 999 Testastretta are among the most advanced, highest performance, twin-cylinder motorcycles ever produced at our Bologna, Italy factory. They epitomize the racing history of Ducati and represent the evolution of a formula that has dominated Superbike racing for over a decade. In just its first year of competition, the stunning Ducati 999 has claimed victory in the World Superbike Manufacturer’s and Rider’s Championships. The 2004 Superbike lineup has been revamped for 2004 with: fully adjustable suspension front and rear, factory racebike replica swingarms for the 999R and 749R, the beautiful and accessible 749 Dark, the 749S with a new 110HP Testastretta engine, Ohlins front forks, rear shocks, and steering dampers on the 999S and 999R, and accelerated availability for the 999R at your local Dealer.

SUPERSPORT

After more than three decades of design development, the Ducati Supersport is considered a modern motorcycling icon with a reputation for great handling, lightweight, smooth power delivery and versatility. With its 2004 range, the Ducati Supersport family carries the heritage proudly into the future while adhering to and improving the time-tested formula of the original. New features for 2004 include: an Ohlins rear shock and Brembo front and rear brakes on the 1000DS and Marzocchi upside down forks, 6 speed gearbox and Sachs rear shock on the Supersport 800.

SPORT TOURING

The classic European Gran Turismo tradition is the inspiration for the Ducati Sport Touring family. Beautifully designed with potent power plants, Ducati Sport Touring motorcycles bring performance and superior handling to the touring experience. The ST family has been significantly upgraded for 2004: the entire line-up has received an improved seat for rider comfort and reduced passenger “slippage", a redesigned front fairing and new more powerful light adjustable from the new instrument panel, while an all-new three-valve engine has been developed for the exciting new ST3, and our ST4S ABS has been updated with the ABS electronic braking system, exclusive Ohlins rear shock and CAN line electronics.

SPECIAL EDITION MOTORCYLES: Ducati Monster 620 Matrix, Superbike 998 Matrix and Superbike 998 Final Edition.

Following the use of Ducati Superbikes in the stunning 15-minute freeway chase sequence in Warner Brother’s blockbuster, Matrix ReloadedTM, Ducati is teaming up with Warner Bros to produce a limited edition Superbike 998 and Monster 620 inspired by the film. The motorcycles, with their spectacular Matrix livery, special paint and graphics, instantly create the most desirable urban street fighter and Superbike around.

2004 will mark the ten-year anniversary of the most iconic and victorious motorcycle ever made. As a final tribute to this remarkable creation, Ducati presents the limited edition 998S Final Edition. Features include: a silver plate, an Ohlins rear shock and front fork and a tricolor Italian-flag tailpiece.

以為自己是摩托車的速客達，來自 Honda Italia 的傑作。但在這之前，其實已經有一位難兄難弟 Gilera 的 DNA 總是搞不清楚自己「定位」是什麼。:) 偽油箱下是一可以提供相當大儲藏空間的 compartment，而引擎配置和傳動的安排，的則是和一般的 scooter 相同。基本上來說，這是 DNA 的放大版。真正具有 technology breakthrough 態勢的作品，則是 Aprilia Leonardo SR 500。二行程，但已經符合即將在 2006 年強制執行的 Euro 3 排氣法規。缸內直噴的噴射供油技術，讓 Leonardo SR 500 有 38km/L 的驚人油耗表現(remember it’s a 2 cycle)。0 至 400 米加速於 12.5 秒內完成。

從 topku 那裡看來的資訊。以摩托騎士為背景，這倒也新鮮。

南方社區文化網路：機車與鐵窗的階級

有些奇怪的男人不知是平日在城市裡過於壓抑，無能發洩，還是心中仍存有蹄踏萬疆，足踩四方於跨下衝動，一買了休旅車(SUV)，便無時不刻幻想著呼喚親朋車友，組個不怎麼樣的車隊，來凌虐台灣各地的小海灘。

週日(09/21)，驅車前往每年必定至少拜訪一次的某處海灘。風中的水氣輕捎沁涼，微甜微酸，湊搭著防風林的草根芬芳。盛夏已過，難得一年來首次於本島外遊，心頭忍躁，也漂淡了許多。濱線離省道不遠，轉進去後沒幾分鐘可以到達。然冒失的對向車主又取線不佳，跨侵本道。惱嘆一聲，想著 motomosa 的志業，輪步又趨近海岸。

三六五個日子不見。氛晚時刻，她仍究是如此令人惋憐的霞麗。淨灘、海沙、雲邈、天茫，灰樸和耀黃的線條交染，暈出合離的塵世。

海灘勿予不懂得海洋滋味的人。
