Well, thanks to Scott she's home and resting comfortably in the garage. I still have to do some maneuvering to figure out how the car and the bike will fit, but that comes when it's not 100 degrees outside.

The first mod has occurred, as well! I pulled off those ugly reflectors on the forks and peeled off the AMS sticker.  [thumbsup]

I took some quick snaps. Don't expect 'em to be great, but this is her in the middle of where the Z usually sits. Thanks to Bryant for the quick refresh button on his Craigslist page, and Scott (again) for his moving services.

Once I cool off and get a beer in me tonight I'll try to figure out a meet for next week where everyone can see it.

Enjoy!

Yes, beer soon. I'll try to organize something for next week...possibly as early as Sunday afternoon. Stay tuned.

Also
- I owe Bryant a round or two or dinner for his finder's fee.
- I owe Scott and Steph a dinner for his help since I forgot my wallet at home for his "thank you" lunch today. D'OH!!

[bang]

I'm up for that.


IP - Congratulatios on the new bike. You have the mil-spec "I got my new Ducati" grin.  [thumbsup]

Can't wait to see it. I love the SCs.

The seller, Tom, lives one exit past LYD. Tom & his wife also have an S4RS. I think he wants to move up to a 1098.

BTW, IP, did you email the forum address? http://ducatimonsterforum.org/

I did, I shot him the general URL and the specific one for all us DFW crazies.

Sunday's sort of a wait and see thing. It's father's day and I'm trying to figure out what pops wants to do. I may end up taking him out to lunch. We also have an invite from friends to go see a minor league baseball game. So, we'll have to see how it all goes. But yeah, if I'm free, Dubliner it is.  [thumbsup]
