Title: it's with great sadness...
Post by: ♣ McKraut ♣ on May 07, 2008, 04:24:00 PM
that i have to go back on what i said at Alan's BBQ...i am indeed jumping ship it seems...i've located a bike, but it's not what any of you probably ever thought you would see me on, and i can understand if you won't want to be seen with me any longer, and understandably so.

anyway  i always hate posts like this...so melodramatic and over-the-top and really just unnecessary, so i won't drag this out.  but, sadly, thanks to what i think was a good deal on a good bike, i pulled the trigger and if i have to relocate to another "crew", i'll understand.  you guys were all really cool, and i'll always remember the good times...and those make the beast with two backsing scrumptious ribs, alan.  keep up the good grillin'.   wt:

Whoo Hooo, nice wt:

...saw a yellow in my neighborhood a few weeks ago.

That may have been me!  :)

Nice ride McKraut!  ...The old carby EssEss's are great bikes.
I believe I saw that one at the dealer not that long ago. (can't remember what they were doing to it -but you probably have the receipt for that)

Good luck with it.  I've been through mine end-to-end.  If you come up with any quirks/questions/etc. lemme know.

Dammit - how cool is that?!? 

You know I was just thinking about SS Ducatis the other day; when I first thought about getting a motorcycle about 5 years ago, buying a Ducati seemed completely out of reach for me... The mental picture of a Duc was the SS; the epitome of "sportbike" in my mind at the time  8)

I'm really glad you found this one, Rich - couldn't ask for a more cool ride.  Way to go  be::

Let's ride!!!

Looks like SP but wheels are either after market or powdercoated white... 95 or 96?

96 (it's #921), but i'm thinking the wheels were a pull-off from something else; they're marchesini, and not in the best shape...dings and just wear in general.  they could definitely use a trip to a powder-coater.

I know a powder coater!  Will be going there next week!  Big dicount on black!!!  You could do black with red rim tape. But he does all colors.
