I've lived in both northern and southern california. There are some great great roads, but I prefer the BC back roads here. I've had many, many bikes, and none vibrates as much as a duc's v-twin. With a Duc's sportbike, you can't be in any position but the committed position. You're not as upright as a gixxer for example. It's seating position is more like a Yammy. High seat, low clip-ons. Forcing you to put weight into the wrists.
