Today I sold my monster...
A bike I thought would be with me until the very end.
A bike I loved and took so much pride in owning.
A bike that made me smile just staring at her.
A bike that sent shivers up my spine every time I started her up and heard the bass of the titanium exhaust and the dry clutch clank.
A bike that ran me through the gamut of emotions, Italians can be fussy! But when she sang, there was no sweeter sound! (I know you know what I’m talkin about!)
A bike, that was well, more than a bike to me.
A bike that was just about as perfect a bike I could ever want

I’d like to thank this forum for years of entertainment and knowledge. While I was far from a big poster, I have enjoyed being part of such a genuinely great community of Ducati owners. I knew it was the right time to move on, but I am seriously going to miss her!

I wish you all he best and safe travels!

Mike
