Monday morning surprised me with a little bit of snow. My trusty Monster from 2000 didn't seem to mind though :)

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Yay!!! You left your bike out in the snow!   [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

(Truth is, most Ducati's LOVE snow but so very few get to enjoy it....)
