my ducati only has 57 miles on it...

man, its been a rough start to spring with storms hailing down on me just about every time i have a chance to ride...so, my ducati only has 57 miles on it! today is 80-something degrees and the predicted storms vanished into thin air, so i'm gone.

ducati dream: done and done

i took a trip to yorktown and this is all i brought back! my new ducati 1198 is a super bike for sure: cant wait for the ice to thaw!

i have been obsessed with the ducati for a while, but once i sat on one at the bike show, i knew i had to have it, stat! i scoured the internet and located only one...in new jersey...with credit card at the ready, i inquired about the bike only to find it sold several weeks ago: annoying! so, last weekend i found two had just arrived at redline motor sports in the tidewater region of virginia.

saturday i loaded up the trailer and trudged through our snow to pick it up:

someone else came by to pick up the black one: he was cool...

 im back home in the snow and ice, but i couldnt be happier! 

i saw this aprilia there...
