Well, I showed to all you on the DMF FIRST to get your feedback, and THAT gave me the incentive to send the photos of my
Sharpie Edition S2R to Cycle World mag.  So now it's actually in their mag and on their site now - and I am absolutely THRILLED!!

Ducati North America also put it on their facebook page, but didn't include my name!!!
If anyone had told me last year that this would be happening, I would NEVER have believed them in a zillion years!

I finally heard from the "Sharpie" people, and they are going to put me on their blog with an interview, and hopefully with all this exposure,
it will lead to SOMETHING to make me a few $$$ - because  I'm already thinking of my next Ducati - (a used ST-something) for longer trips!

I'm also doing my first track day in Monticello, and am very excited about it!!
PINCH ME NOW - I might be dreaming all this!!!

I was up visiting friends and they had that issue sitting on their kitchen table, so we talked about it a while. Cool stuff. [thumbsup]

Looking through the slideshow on the link, I can see all of the little details that you put into this. Wow, it took a lot of talent and imagination to do what you did what your bike!

Congratulations!!! I had that CW issue with me on the plane ride and caught my neighbor sneaking a peek...didn't say whether he liked it or not, but he seemed to know it was a Monster.   [clap]

Again, congrats!! I've got that Cycle World on my desk next to my keyboard. [thumbsup] Showed the article and pics to my wife (who hates scooters by the way... [bang]) and even she thought is was really cool. Her comment was, "My God, how long did that take??" [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
