Is that yours with the checkerd flag tank? Cool, but they all are.

Never sold a bike, bought one in 98, kept it for 10 years until stolen.  Now after 7 months on the 695, I can't think of selling it (her) it's not like a car for me.

Was yours bought new or used, I wonder if it makes a difference. [moto]

I know how you feel. I was heartbroken when I sold my 1098, but the price I got for it made me smile.  Grin There will be another bike one day. It's just a matter of time. It may not be a Ducati, but it'll surely be on two wheels. waytogo On the other hand, that new Monster 1100 comming next year sure is looking good! [moto]

It is never a good feeling to sell a bike.
I did it ONCE.   Cry

...but sometimes life works out like that.

So wild coming back 12 years later to the thread where you sold your first bike because you're starting a new build thread...

I had no idea you were local; I have been following your (re) build thread with interest.

I joined here 10 years ago when I bought my bike, I guess our paths never crossed! Welcome back.

Unfortunately not goes on in here (DFW sub forum) anymore, it was once so lively!
