It's my very first bike and it's a 1999 Ducati Monster Dark, with 20,000km on the clock. I'd just planned to take a look at it, and maybe take it for a test spin. But I decided I couldn't quite afford it so I walked out, but when I got to my car I paced around it for a few minutes and said "Stuff it!" and I bought it!

Picking it up in a couple of hours. I still can't get the grin off my face!  ;D

Congratulations...

You'll need to post the obligatory pics when you get it.

Don't forget to checkout the OZ Board
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent.”

Thanks guys! Pics will be forth-coming just as soon as I get my seat back from the motor-trimmers. And Jake the fires are still raging across much of the state, several towns have been wiped out and thousands of people have been effected. A bloke I played hockey with for many years lost his dad, so a very sad time indeed.

Here she was when I picked her up, looking a bit rough:



And here she is; seat reupholstered, grime wiped off, and polish applied!  [thumbsup]
