That's it for me - who needs stuff?

[Razzo Bolognese]

I'm going to miss the hell out of riding.  Hell, I already do & I can't even twist a throttle yet.  Still, now is the time for me to sell my stuff to fix my bike & start paying some bills.  So I have all this really nice stuff that I think belongs on a Ducati rider.  Before I offer it all to strangers or even put together an official "for sale" page (here, ebay, cl, whatev) I figured I'd give the local boys (and girls) a crack at it.  My size is 5 '7", about 155 lbs. I need to sell:

2 Battery Tenders
waterproof bike cover
Kryptonite NY lock
Alpinestars Black leather riding jacket - very used, in good condition
Custom made black leather pants by Z Custom Leathers in Cali (barely used)
Dianese size 10 boots (barely used)
Joe Rocket Size 10 boots (used once, boot won't fit under a stock Ducati Monster shit lever)
Waterproof insulated gauntlets (small) by Joe Rocket
headlight filament
summer shorty gloves - barely used
sweet large magnetic tank bag
airpump, cargo nets, clutch springs, stock shift levers, buncha rags odds & ends that I'd happily part with if you buy something big.

I also have to fix & sell my bike, so I am open to trades.  She needs:

Turn signal
Napoleon (ish) mirror
Foot brake lever (either fixed or replaced)

Hey anybody wanna buy a Ducati Monster?  She's good!

Please feel free to IM or email me.

What happened?

[Razzo Bolognese]

4/13 I was on 18th St. before 5th Ave.  I was driving in the parked car lane when the light changed.  A cab swerved into my lane (possibly to stop me from getting in front of all the traffic or possibly because he's the worst driver ever) and I swerved to avoid the cab.  Maybe I also braked, maybe I hit some debris.  Either way I slow-mo fell to the right, squishing my foot & my hip and fracturing the sh!t out of my forearm just above the thumb into seven or so pieces.  On 4/21 they put in a piece of cadaver bone and a big chunk of titanium.  I put a link to my x-ray so you don't have to see if you don't want to.  The bike is barely and only cosmetically hurt.

crazy man. thats messed up to see, you REALLY have to ride with a special kind of mindset when your around drivers from NYC. its teh mecca of bad drivers.

How much for the Daniese boots? Also what size are the pants and do you have any pics?

[Razzo Bolognese]

I prefer PM's.  That way I know who's really interested in what.

Darn Razzo!

Sorry to hear about your spill.  Hope you heal fast.
I hate NYC cabbies......always cutting people off.

You in the city?  Let me buy you a beer.

I am so sorry to hear this, Dan.  I really hope you heal up soon, and I'm sorry you're giving up on riding.

Let me know if you need anything - pretty sure you have my cell. 

[Amlethae]

Dude.  Really sorry to hear about this.  Huge fear of mine these stupid cabbies, gypsy-cabbies (the worst in my experience), and stupid truck drivers... not to mention all the other cagers on the road.  Hope you heal fast.  If I get any good karma saved up I'll send some your way!

I just wanted to post that I visited Dan today.  He is doing well and is in good spirits.  I visited his bike too.  Absolutely no major damage, only the smallest ever, well, I wouldn't even call it a ding on the tank, well hidden by the perfectly intact mat black finish.  Other than that, a banged up mirror, some lever damage, heal guard, one missing signal lens (not for long) and that is about all I remember,  The bike starts up as soon as you hit the starter button and settles into a perfect idle.  Not much mileage was put on this bike since it had a complete major service including timing belts, so most will have a good year's ride before service is needed again.  This is a great bike for someone out there.  A classic with fuel injection, but none of the closed loop issues.  I will probably regret not buying this bike.  Then again...

[Razzo Bolognese]

Thanks everybody!  It's not like I don't wanna ride anymore, it's just that I crumple from low speed accidents.  A couplea weeks ago I took a bone density test.  I failed.  :'(  So far I posted up about a couplea boots on the Suspects Unlimited sales area.  Honestly the Joe Rocket Boots are not good for a Monster rider, but the Dianese are the best boots EVER!  If you guys need anything in particular, I probably have it.  Thanks again for everything!
