OK fine, let me be blunt:  You're a more interesting person with the 888 than without.   cheeky

Things are getting serious now.  The 888 is gone, and I just found out that the local KTM dealer has a 990 Adventure demo bike on sale at a very good price.  I've VERY tempted to buy it, then sell my ST2 for cheap.

Last chance to try to talk me out of becoming a non-Ducati rider for the first time in 13 years.

Actually, it does.  It has a nice V-twin in it and everything.

KTMs are made by Austrians.  It will function perfectly but one day it will turn on you and make the beast with two backs you hard.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I give up... after the 888 sale, you've officially lost your Ducati-mind.

I was being sarcastic-there is no soul factory installed, as some claim.

Also, why do we care if you sell your ducs? G'wan and do it-you're an adult.

It's too late now.  As soon as I can clean up the ST2 it goes on sale.  Anybody want it, for $2000.00.

Let's all see how ambiguous we can be...

I'll have recent photos for the ad that will appear in a few days.  For now, here are a few:

 If you dare to ask, then i'd say it's time to sell them, but it looks like you already have  Lips Sealed
