found a deal I couldn't pass up.

10' MTS1200 touring.  Has all the carbon bits of the sport, and then some.  Full exhaust + tune.  Fresh rubber.  5800 miles.

I fly out to Houston on Thursday morning to pick her up, then ride it back between cold fronts trying to evade/avoid the rain.

The dealer I found near me has put me at ease (unlike the previous one).  I hope I never need them, but at least they made me feel welcome/like a customer despite the fact I've only purchased a few misc parts from them.

Still under OE warranty until October 12', I'll probably snag an extended warranty on that thing before too long.

Planned mods?  some heated gear for me, a GPS, and $$$ for gas Cheesy

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Congrats!

This the 2nd trip to Houston for a bike right?
Last one was a ST3/4? Didn't hang on that one very long. I'm sure this multi will treat you better.

What color?  I just drove past my Ducati shop a few minutes ago and saw a white one. It surprised me how good it looked in white.

It's black  waytogo

Second trip to Houston for a bike.  Going to be at the airport around 9, then cabbing it to HSBK to meet up with the PO and take delivery.

I ended up selling the ST4s to a guy at work.  I needed the scratch, and he made me an offer I couldn't pass up.  I've missed the ST ever since, now I've found it's (permanent?) replacement.

Man the 1200 is a great bike. it's on my list of things to get when the lottery comes in. I got to ride an 1100 MTS and the 1200 back to back and it's night an day. I had a soft spot for the older multis after some previous test rides... but after that 1200 they are dead to me.

Enjoy the ride

I have to agree that the white looks pretty awesome.  Currently my fave color for ducs right now.

You won't be disappointed with the Multi 1200.  I think they'll need to bury mine with me.

Hey man, you should swing by my/desmolu's cafe while you're in town and have a beer.

 The people at HSBK are actually pretty cool as well.

Enjoy the new ride

Tell me where it is, and I'll see if I can't make it by.  I should be there around 9, but to beat the rain I've got to get on the road fairly soon.

I test rode one at Santa Barbara Ducati, it's like a big dirt bike, it pulls the front wheel off effortlessly.   Watch out for your license.
