Yay! I have my Ducati after 31 years!

stubbicatt · Fri Apr 22nd, 2011, 09:32 PM

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.
