why i swap / sell my old parts i cannot and will not ever understand

I find myself recently with a very sore backside. It seems I have been kicking myself frequently about selling some of my aftermarket bits and pieces, including my pc'd OEM bits. I'll sell them and only god knows where that money goes, but then find myself pissing and moaning later (sometimes mere weeks later) about how I sure wish I still had X, Y, or Z.
So... To any of you peeps out there who "get lucky" and end up with some of my bits 2nd hand, Good On Ya. Please don't offer to sell it back to me for what you paid or even slightly more, because I just might be dumb enough to take it - only to change my dumb mind again later!

i need some rearsets, by the way.
anybody know if the Ducabike Monster (1st & 2nd Gen) rearsets are compatible with their folding pegs? I'd like to keep everything "working" in the event of an off, and folding pegs help keep the frame tabs intact.

Im sorry to laugh, but that was funny! Good luck. Im in the same boat. As soon as I sold a spare rear brake MC, mine froze up and stopped working.

I understand entirely.
Recently sold clutch parts, and then my brothers clutch plays up.

Just let-go of a good-used 1-phase alternator assembly 1 week ago....
Only to have an 851 come in that won't charge the battery this week.
Enjoy the fun of laughing at me.

The question is whether or not Mindy's bike is "finally" ready.

I rarely sell ANYTHING.
If I die tomorrow, whoever gets my garage is going to be in random-ducati parts heaven.

I still have a full exhaust for an 851 -- new in box -- that has been in my possession for about 8 years.
