So, shit-for-brains here bought hisself a nice used carbon tail bit to replace his broken beer tray. Sounds okay so far, right? Well, the bolt holes don't line up. Must be yet another freakin' part that only fits 2002+. I need a newer bike. And, in 3 years or so, I might just get one.

Rumor has it that the Matt Fox bike is still at South Seas. Go and make them an offer.  |

Like rolled up cigar style? speaking of which, I picked up a few pre-embargo cubans today. They're kinda cheaty, but apparently still decent. |

That was one perk of being in Europe for so long, no embargo on Cubans. Too bad I have never really been one to enjoy a cigar.

I'm certainly not a big smoker, but occasionally I can enjoy it.

A pre-embargo Cuban might be a tad old. Every now and then somebody tricks me into smoking a real Cuban cigar and I pretty much enjoy them until they tell me what I'm smoking. I don't knowingly smoke anything illegal. I'm a good boy.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I don't knowingly smoke anything illegal. I'm a good boy. They are from 1959. At least, the tobacco is. They have been re-wrapped and are, according to my friend, still pretty nice, they just burn a little more quickly. And they are totally legal.  |

Did you guys see the thread in General Monster Forum about the new M1100 ( http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=10504.0 )? They went and put the bigger engine in the 696 chassis. The days of good looking Monsters are numbered so you might want to hold onto yours Mac. |

I sent out my 'doesn't fit' tailpiece today, and received the 'hopefuly does.' Good news: All paperwork and instructions are in German. Nobody speaks German anymore! It's a dead language! I saw that on the "Unbiased Frenchman Hour", so it must be true.
