Thread: Yay! I have my Ducati after 31 years!

  1. #1

    Yay! I have my Ducati after 31 years!

    I have been riding bikes since the mid 1970's. I remember the first time I saw a Ducati. A magnificent machine with a full race style fairing in the day when such things were surely not common. I knew I would want one.

    Well, today I bought her. A beautiful red 1198 SP. I couldn't be happier.

    Photos tomorrow.

    I think every rider should have a Duc at least once in their life. You've arrived! I'm still waiting. Congratulations!

    Damn dude, if you were going to finally get a Ducati couldn't you at least have picked one of their faster models? LOL

    Congratulations!
