long story.  I never took posession.   Mike is still tops in my book.  There were...er...problems with the bike's paperwork that he got from the guy who sold it to him.

If you can swing the extra $ the 749 is far superior. Way better engine.
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.

Chris has the money Rick.  In fact, he could probably afford your tricked out 848 as well.   [evil]

Heh, paperwork's a pregnant dog!

Got a car over two weeks ago, my bank had to send a check to the PO's bank who has to notify VA MVA to send them the title so they can make a copy and then give me the title. Still waiting....

The wrecked 748 in Annapolis could be a good deal, main thing to watch out for with the 748 is the flaking rocker arms. I think the best solution is to have them resurfaced, but at $50 each it can get silly expensive quick.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

HAH!  Anytime you mention Ducati and racing in the same breath that is madness. Method or not.  ;D

Chris, just posted up links to an interesting 749 and a 675SE in the craigslist thread.

you could always buy some cheap fairings off fleabay for the 749 and either keep the good ones or sell them.

on the other side, it's hard to beat pre-crashed  ;D

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
