Hmmmm I can borrow the wife's or you can but the condition is to cancel your 996 bid 

haha, no bid on Fastwin's bike from me... just wishful thinking.  I just got a new road bicycle (Trek Madone 4.5) a little while back and have to wait a bit longer on the next moto.

  RIP CDC miss ya buddy!

What a fun picture too.

I love the only pics the group has of Charles and I FINALLY getting our two 916SPS bikes together at a group race watch at Motopia in summer 2008. I think... was it last summer?? He and I talked of getting them together many times. I know a bunch of you were there so maybe you remember the year better than me. I know I PM'd Donald lately because I was looking for a couple of particular shots and I know he took a few that day. cdc was sitting on his bike out front as I was warming mine up and pulling away... and taking shit for wearing a vented Joe Rocket Suzuki jacket while riding a SPS!!

I asked George recently about Charles' wife and family and his bikes. He said the ST was for sale in Ft. Worth (as some of you have noted on other threads) and the SPS was going to be pickled and would live in a special spot inside their home as a very honorable tribute to Charles and his love of Ducatis and riding. I only wish my wife was a 10th as understanding and caring in that regard.

Miss ya' bro!

I have a few of those pics on the iphone.  give me a few to upload them

First time I saw Charles 916SPS was at Lisa's BBQ while I was bikeless and remember giggling when he was tippy toeing it to turn it around... now i do that on the 848.   

WOW!!! Those were the pics I was looking for!! Donald had some others but I couldn't remember who took these. Thanks a million! Just wish we could relive those days again! Sad. But I cherish the moments I had... like this! God speed cdc and it serves as a leason to all of of us to never take our lives, our friends and our passions for granted. This isn't a dress rehearsal... there are no do-overs, no mulligans. I guess I'm preaching to the choir here. I know riding bikes can do without me, but I cannot do without riding bikes... and being with those friends that do the same!

Again, thanks B for the pics. Great memories for sure! [moto]

A few more that I have.  I was just going through all the pics on my iphone the other day and saw them.  When you mentioned them in your previous post is rung a bell quick

"Me tiptoe?"

a good Man with undeniable knowledge about Ducati's history and glory days.  He was certainly a treasure.

Bryant, you are the culprit! Again those are all the pics I was thinking of. Please e-mail them to me if you can. I will PM you my email if you don't have it. I'll trade you the fun on the 996S for those pics. It means that much to me.

You wouldn't (actually you would!) believe the folder of 916SPS info he gave me regarding our bikes. It was a treasure trove of info and history. I was amazed at how much he knew about our scooters and their development. Twice as much as I knew and then some!

+1 Thanks Bryant, I never got pics that day.

...and I'm pretty certain that Donald's avie is from that meet as well!

I remember the times CDC would hang back on that 916 on the way to Dallas heading to a meet and would suddenly buzz by us at light speed....  

good times for sure
