Time to cut down on bikes and expenses. Here's a link to the build thread (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=46971.0), I think I've done a decent job of documenting all the work that has gone into her.
I'd rather sell her whole, but I'm also open to parting her out if that works better. First dibs to you guys, then I'll post for the rest of the DMF and what's left will go on eBay.
man would I love to cop some of the goodness off of that machine....but $$$ right now just precludes me personally...GL man....sad to see it go that way.
A tall, orange mistress who doesn't shave her legs and wears combat boots has stolen his love away from Bianca

she's not orange....she just likes to wear accents to her ensemble with orange on em. ;)
I think it started with the Beemer (2006 F650GS): I begun to enjoy the comfortable seat, heated grips and wind protection, 60+ MPG on regular gas, and, maybe the most, the suspension. When I ride it, I feel like I'm the Honey Badger: I don't give a shit! [laugh]
The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger (original narration by Randall) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg#)
The only things I don't like about the Beemer are that it's a little lacking in performance (I.E. a little boring), vibrations become noticeable after 5000 RPM (annoying on the highway), and the folks at BMW must have had a huge excess of bolts before they assembled it, because they sure didn't afterwards ... [laugh]
The KTM might just be the right mix of BMW practicality and Ducati fun, we'll see.

true, true! BTW, she looks a little like a KLR in some photos, but I never tell her that.

Jokes aside, between family, friends, and (especially) NONNI I don't have as much time to play with bikes as I used to and I don't see the point of keeping Bianca around just to ride her a couple times a year. Here's the two debbils:
Nonna: 86, ready for anything!

Nonno: 97 (!!!), stealing my wife's chocolate. I had turned to get his wheel chair out of the trunk and found him like this!
