Saw a red 996 in my shop this afternoon. Belongs to a BMW customer of ours. The clutch needed bleeding. He's got 12K to 13K on it and is thinking about parting with it. Didn't say how much he would be asking for it.
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.

Ran into the guy yesterday at the dealership who bought that 05-06 999S from South Seas a little bit ago and went with us on the last monthly ride. He had his arm in a sling having broken both bones in his lower right arm after throwing the 999 away.  Says there is $16,000 worth of damage to it after trying to avoid a lady's car whose tire had blown out in front of him. He was in good spirits but it's so sad seeing these 999's die undeserved deaths.  :P

So sad about the 999S...   :'(

And this isn't really a sighting, but one of the guys over at Ducatispot posted it up.

We were lucky enough to go there before the hippies nuked the Superferry.



Haleakala = unbelievably beautiful road. No cops anywhere. ;D  ;D  ;D

Red S2R 1000 coming out of Nuuanu this morning, got on the Pali townbound from the Wyllie overpass. Termi's on the side but the clutch was louder at idle. Rider geared up. Revit jacket but wearing a Repsol team helmet.
