It has been a long time I know, a lot has happened since my last post. I retired from the military, crashed a motorcycle, bought another motorcycle, and moved to another state. Yep that pretty well sums it up.
Due to some moron in south Florida pulling out in front of me and $6500 worth of damage to my scooter, the Monster is no more. I am still a little sad about it but it is a fact of life if you ride motorcycles. To replace it I bought a baby Superbike from Ducati called an 848. It makes about 40 more horsepower at 134 and weighs about 5 kilos less. I know a dangerous combination to be sure but OH MY GOD is it FUN. In all of the high performance vehicles I have ever driven or ridden it is like nothing I have ever experienced. To say that it is fast is ridiculous so I cannot imagine what its big brother the 1098 is like with 26 more horsepower in stock form or the R model with a total of 180. That thing must be a complete animal. At $72K we will not even discuss the DESMOSEDICI RR, but it makes over 200HP, basically a street legal race bike but if you can write the check and have previously owned a Ducati Superbike then you can buy one.
I could go on and on about how much is changed but lots of things are still in flux so I hate to prattle when I don't really know what the future holds. I am looking for another job so if anyone knows of anything, please do tell, other than that, crap who knows what today brings, much less tomorrow so I will live for now and see what happens, besides I have to head off to help the my brother break his car some more! See ya soon Chuck.
