well finally got the m750 sold today (as long as nothing crazy happens) to a flight paramedic in california.
pretty sad to let it go but def needed the money.

now i gotta start putting my pennies away so i can get another one someday.

big thanks to everyone who helped me work through my stuff with that bike and to steve for coming out and helping me wrench on it!

Is that yours with the checkerd flag tank? Cool, but they all are.

Never sold a bike, bought one in 98, kept it for 10 years until stolen.  Now after 7 months on the 695, I can't think of selling it (her) it's not like a car for me.

Was yours bought new or used, I wonder if it makes a difference. [moto]

Sounds bittersweet, Richard...
Congratz on the sale- hope it goes smoothly.
Good luck with school- looking forward to seeing you on 2 wheels again soon

Congrats on the pending sale.  You'll be back on 2 wheels soon!

i actually didnt even own it a whole year, but it was my first street bike so yeah its def bittersweet.

man ive already got the bug always looking at bikes on ebay and craigslist lol idk how long ill be able to make it without one now haha.
there will def be another in my future    and then another after that, and so on.

I know how you feel. I was heartbroken when I sold my 1098, but the price I got for it made me smile.  There will be another bike one day. It's just a matter of time. It may not be a Ducati, but it'll surely be on two wheels. On the other hand, that new Monster 1100 comming next year sure is looking good! [moto]

It is never a good feeling to sell a bike.
I did it ONCE.   

...but sometimes life works out like that.
With a higher education you'll be able to afford all the toys in time!

It'll all work out   

So wild coming back 12 years later to the thread where you sold your first bike because you're starting a new build thread...

http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=78149.0

I had no idea you were local; I have been following your (re) build thread with interest.

I joined here 10 years ago when I bought my bike, I guess our paths never crossed! Welcome back.

Unfortunately not goes on in here (DFW sub forum) anymore, it was once so lively!
