Ducati Monster Forum

Most everyone knows my red ST4s so I won't bore you all with the details. Bike is in great shape. Nothing wrong just needs a new home.

Dude, you really gotta work on your selling skills...  List things of interest, like price, tires, upgrades, ooh... New sprocket!  [cheeky]

seriously though man, good luck with the sale.  You coming out Sunday?  I'm out of the market, apparently all that bullshit I spewed about not wanting 2 track bikes was, well, bullshit.  My dumbass just committed to a new (to me) bike today....  I really should seek help....

i still want your ss, like school children want recess.

T motos for you are like meds to normal people. You just need a fix  [thumbsup] Can't wait to see the new scoot.

Sunday is a toss up.

My ST4s is better!  ;D

Here's the link on the main board with pics.

bloody incredible picture.

Agree. Your ST4s never looked better, Red.

+1 for a great pic, Scott and Will both did great jobs for a great price and a great cause [thumbsup]

Scott was awesome in helping me with this. He went out of his way to accommodate peoples schedules and he asked for nothing in return.



Thanks T.  [thumbsup]  Just went digging through some of the un-retouched shots and found some I don't know if I shared before or not. The first day we had some of the Velvet Kittens out to pose with the bikes. This set was with Melanie who was the most photogenic of the bunch. She's posing with Scott/Steph's Vespa, McKraut's S4R, my boss' Triumph and Rene's 1098.

Red,

Why are you selling the ST? Just curious. And no, I don't need another bike! [laugh]

[/threadjack on again]

when is the next photo op? my bike is much prettier than i am.

[/threadjack off again]

Also, Red - you may want to post it up on the .MS forum and on Craigslist as well.

Maybe he just likes the trip9 too much.
He left me way behind last night on slab sweeps! [thumbsup]

B. I need to sell the bike for several reasons and it seems a good time to do it. No 1 reason that spousal unit has had a habit of letting me know that she agreed to an upgrade but not two bikes in the garage. No 2 reason is that since getting the trip 9 I don't ride the ST much anymore. No 3 then there is the financial aspect in that if I'm not using it then I'm not recieving my dividend. So the rate of return decline curve has way too much diminishing asset value to investment coefficient.

ATO, surely Mitsi (sp? I forgot your wife's name I think sorry) would love to hike a leg over an ST behind you and ride along. She seems the adventurous type. You may do well in aquiring it. Just saying. [laugh]

But you see Svoloch is hitting the 40 year old ST prime time senario for the purchase of an ST.

 ;D [laugh]

Yes, Svoloch would love to pick up the ST, and actually carry his wife somewhere without her ass catching on fire while simultaneously compressing his lower back into a puddle of bone mush.

However, as mentioned, Svoloch has 2 kids in private school.  What if I pay you 100$ / mo, and give you my lunch money on tuesday's and thursday's?

Did you every put a price and feature list on the dang thing?   ??? :o ;D [coffee]

Hmm... While I would like to ride two-up on a bike that doesn't give mashed potatos under braking, Milli is graduating from cupcake status to rider status this coming weekend. She is finally going to take the course. At long last.

I have the PERFECT bike for her to start on........................... ;D  I need it gone and for fellow board members the price may be too damn good to pass up. 

what are you selling?

The ST4s, as awesome as it is, would likely get dropped in the garage or wheelied into a tree, so Red's 'purty baby' is not on the list of possibilities.

Getting Milli a bike in the near future is putting a kink in my plans to get an 900 SS.

At least she is keen to my self imposed prohibition on scooters. (no offense to any of those riders that lurk amongst us). when we start heading to the track frequently, then scooters look like wonderful pit bikes, but for now i don't want her to use the auto trans of a scooter as a crutch preventing her from entering motorcycledom.

He he, I'm glad to hear that Milli is getting into riding! That's encouraging and I know it will be fun for you both. I'm poking fun at you and Svoloch I hope you know. And boy do I all to well know the pitfall of sending kids to private school so no worries there guys.

The price is $7500 to pay it off. I would consider it a good price since the book on it is still around the 8k mark. But someone is getting a bike they know from a known source ME.

It just makes no sense for me to have two bikes. I have only one butt.

Please don't ever mention the "alledged" logic of having only one butt therefore no need for more than one bike to my wife! I have her convinced otherwise. There's a round of cold adult beverages in it for you to remain silent. [beer] [drink] I have her believing that for every pair of black "flats" or sandals she buys I need a matching bike! [thumbsup] [moto] [bow_down] Works great to one of you blows it for me! [laugh]

i have phrased as "each one does a different task." Sometimes you need a shotgun, other times you need a rifle. That analogy didn't go well. I then asked her why she had so many colors of nail polish. "Because sometimes you want something different." AH-HA!

All good stuff. I will add that to my repertoire of multi bike ownership reasons! [thumbsup] When pushed I always drop back to my last line of defense: "I've been riding longer than you have been alive". It's like the sliding knuckle ball of discusions. Guaranteed strike out. [bow_down]

Hey was that you I saw Sunday morning on 157 in Venus area? Saw a HM coming the opposite way in the middle of a turn.

ROFL! Perfect!

Fast, my lips are sealed...                                                                     ...psssst...now when can I collect?

Nope, I went to church in my cage. Unless you
mean on the Hico Run the week before when I was waaaay
back on 157 [coffee]

Nope, a couple days ago, around 10:30. Jay and I went out for a ride. Hit some of the same roads as Hico run. Less gnats, more giant bugs. Nasty.

...nice weather for riding.. ;D

you could have just said "bump" [cheeky]

just like everyone else?  [roll]  Oh, scuse me YOU just said it! Thanks.  ;D  [thumbsup] Let's    [drink] some  [beer] asap. I'm jonesing.

I'll be at Brix Pizza tonight with Bullethead and ATOMemphis

whoo hoo. i'm headed there now, which means i'll be late.

Bumpity bump  [evil]  ;D
