So, I bought a bike...
Well, it happened quite quickly.
After some brainstorming I realized a big Harley won't fit my present needs and would also be too expensive, even if second hand. The BMW RT1100S I was about to test is too big and too much of a long distance weapon.. The other day while going from my office to a client nearby, I passed in front of a small bike dealer and there I saw it... 2001 Ducati Monster 900cc, 8500 km, only one careful owner, custom color (light blue.. delicate, but much better than the obvious red or yellow ones), perfect shape... Today I paid for it and if all goes well, Friday I'll take it home once it will have its plates :) Can't wait! |
Monster - that's my brother's dream bike. Cool!
You still have the 911 and A4 right? |
Yup, I passed the 165'000 km on the 964 today and I didn't touch the A4 since june I think :D
I also found a nice white 3.2 911, but I fear my funds are at their lowest atm :D |
Terrific!! So when are we going riding? :D

And yes, IMO it will be a nice garage with the Porsche and Ducati side by side :) Switzerland when you're used to it, isn't that anti-car/bikes afterall, and Italy is just 15 minutes away :) |

BTW, already looking for a nice exhaust system obviously as the one I've got so far is stock and I am sure I will soon want a better soundtrack :D
if you've got any suggestion... |
Italian bike now ... Italian car next. ;)
|
Hehe, don't worry, of course I've got aims over my first F car too, but first I want to "get laid" with some cheapest machinery :D
|
To borrow a saying ... "Once you go Italian, you don't go back".
I like the way you are working you way up the sports car ladder. I'm sure at the end of it you will have good memories and experiences from various cars to share with your grandchildren.. |
very nice choice TT, a really good looking bike which makes lot of fun - enjoy your first ride at saturday!

Well played sir, I had lost a bit of your hard earned respect after al that Harley talk but the 900M is a great bit of kit.
So many lovely things you can do to those beauties too. High level Termignonis All sorts of cans Marcherensi Wheels Although I ave heard the early fuel injected bike can be a bit snatchy this can be fixed on a dyno, which you'd need to do when you chage the exhausts. Please start your own project page. Loving you mileage in the 964 too, and it's the best colour. Well done sir! |
