« Routine Maintenance | Main | Auction Curiosities »
When first I obtained the 851 and got it serviced, a colleague of mine and I took it out to celebrate. Rather, I rode the 851 and he drove his Porsche Spyder replica. Gear-headed geekdom is small enough here that I recently met a fellow who knows my colleague through the Roadrunner Chapter of the PCA.
It also turns out that this fellow has a Ducati ST4s that he is interested in selling. I am interested in buying it, since as a two-up tourer the F650 is somewhat underpowered. When I ran into him a second time at Coffee at Dawn on Sunday, he said "Let me know when you are ready to pull the trigger on the ST4." He seemed to understand that I was still in hock for the F1. On the other hand, the net cost after selling the F650 would only be several thousand dollars. But still. Maybe I have to check my calendar to find a month with three paychecks in it. And eat nothing but beans and rice for a long, long while.
