A cat dies and goes to Heaven.

God meets him at the gate and says, "You have been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask."

The cats says, "Well, I lived all my life with a poor family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors."

God says, "Say no more." And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears.

A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with the same offer that He made the cat.

The mice said, "All our lives we've had to run. Cats, dogs and even women with brooms have chased us. If we could only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore."

God says, "Say no more." And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller skates.

About a week later, God decides to check and see how the cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him and asks, "How are you doing? Are you happy here?"

The cat yawns and stretches and says, "Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best!"

Morning!

Rockies opening day today. 50* or so, quite windy but sunny skies.

Then First Friday in the art district tonight.

Have a day! 

 

Garage day for me. 4.10 rear end gears aren't enough. Time for some 5.38s

Good morning

morning

New track record for an OEM American car, and 3rd fastest ever. Amazing lap!

Cheers.
Yes I like the old hinged tank. Changing the battery on the Evo is a pita. I think it's about 25 bolts in total to remove the fuel cell and the battery is underneath that. Imagine if there was a battery short causing a fire! You just wouldn't make it in time. Just wheel it onto the street and call the fire brigade.

      

Just tried cycling the ignition three times again in the vain hope that it might work this time and, amazingly, it did! The bike is idling perfectly. I'll take it out for a decent ride today and hopefully it stays that way. Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks for the info and suggestions. There is a Ducati guru not far from me, Ron Young, who has an engineering shop and a long history of working almost exclusively on Ducatis. I haven't been able to contact him yet but if anyone can help me I'm sure it'll be him.
I long for my old M900 when it comes to accessing the area under the fuel tank. Removing the tank on the 1100 is an absolute pain whereas the 900 was like lifting the hood on a car - unclip the front latch and prop it up on the built-in strut. Genius!
