Well, I busted my hump and managed to get the Ducati on the road this weekend. I took a test ride up to Skyline today and WOW am I rusty. It's been 7 years since the tags expired and I find that unbelievable. I can barely fit into to my leather suite (welcome to my 40's). The bike so far works surprisingly well other than the old leaking left fork seal. In the few miles I rode it made quite a mess. I forgot what acceleration feels like after driving Diesel vehicles for so long. Holy crap this thing makes a lot of power above 6,000 or so. My right wrist needs work to handle any distance, since it has become pretty weak. The fork seal, some basic maintenance and some paint and body work are next on the agenda.
God Job Spock!! Now you've got to loose that gut to fit your leathers better :-)!!
cool blog!
