    FFF0ECE3-36EC-4545-9281-EF602AF217A5.jpg just bought a 2018 SR Tacoma. Have added the Toyota dark satin alloys, a toyota bed mat, and 25% tint so far. I was taking a picture of my tint and realized I still don’t have more cylinders than a 3.5 Tacoma using both my vehicles!

    I couldn't imagine how weak a 4cyl in a double cab would be, it's bad enough climbing hills in my single cab- looks nice though :thumbsup:

    So how does that math go? I think I have a V12.

    I’ve had a 4.0 Tacoma, 2.7 Tacoma’s and just driving there isn’t much of a difference. Heck I’ve owned some real fast Mustangs and for normal driving it’s all the same. If I want to go fast I have my 748.

    I used to have an rc51. What a fun bike. It started every time I asked it too unlike my 1100 monster

    The 4 door weighs about 100 lbs more than the 2 door. Add an LCE header to it and you’ll be fine.

    Fours are ok. I just prefer the sound and smoothness of a 6. I am not cylindricaly challenged. Tacoma dcsb limited 6+ Acura mdx 6+snowblower 1+leaf blower 1+ lawn tractor 1+ generator 1+ ferrari maranello 12 = 28 my total.

    I was told the trick for Ducati’s was to install larger ground wires to the chassis and one direct to the starter. I am upgrading pos and neg cables to either 4 or 6ga on both my street and race RC’s.

    The trick to Ducati’s is don’t EVER rely on them, trust them, think you have them figured out, or are finished modding them! I’ve ones several Monsters which are my favorite (pre 696 bikes!) but my dream was a Superbike and I found one I love!!!! I am lucky enough in Charlotte to have the best independent Ducati shop in the world!!!!

    Oh yea and Ducati’s DO have soul!

    I have always steered clear of Ducati due to maintenance. A good friend I used to race with is one of 4 Ducati Master mechanics in Canada. If I can get him to train me in the ways of doing desmo valve adjustment I may consider one in the future.

    I don’t mind paying the Ducati service prices- there is nothing like a Ducati in my eyes. It’s what I enjoy so I make it work!

    I guess we have to list it ALL.

    TACO V6 + BMW Z3 (6)+ RC51 steetbike (2)+ RC51 racebike (2) + Beta techno trials bike (1) + Fantic K-roo trials bike (1) + John Deere STX38 (2) + Kubota B1750D (3) + Stihl MS170 chainsaw (1) + Stihl weedwacker (1) + Generac inverter generator (1) = 26 and 30 if I include my wife’s Civic.

    So did I beat the Ferrari?

    I think he lost when he bought a v12 Ferrari. No much depreciates like like a v12. Hopefully he bought it second hand

    2topia cycles. Amazing! I’m as picky as you can get and Nate the owner is also! Look them up! Old school type shop, but have all the modern equipment and knowledge. If you call them tell them Luke with the 748 sent you!
