Now I see why Jim wouldn't ride RED at the 1st Demo day/Race watch/Burger bash. My heart leaps for joy to see another RED amongst us!!! (Key Ren and Stimpy theme song here...Happy Happy Joy Joy!)

Jim you couldn't have chosen a better species. Damn son and with only 19 miles on it! Sheeeeeeoowwt!! Schweet!

I'll have to get some pics posted here soon - brand new 2006 (OK it did have 19 miles on it) - found it in Houston - verified their story about a VERY rich man who bought it for either his wife or for her to ride with hinm and she didn't like it.  When I took it for a test ride the dealer was right up the street where it was originally purchased so why not stop in and ask right?  They said the guy came in with a driver and a Rolls - had it delivered to his ranch with 3 climate controlled ponds out front with different types of fish in them - one is kept at like 38 degrees or something with some Alaskan fish swimming (imagine the cost of keeping a pond at 38 degrees in Houston in the summer!)  He has a garage (more like a glass showroom for his toys - Lambo's, ferrari's, etc.) so the Duc was sitting for 2 1/2 years - has a battery tender already wired and a heated clothing BMW (according to muskrat) port on it. So far so good - right fairing is cracked (1/2 inch) from being tightened down to much I think other than that it's perfect. Handles great - very much lighter than the FJR but a bit more agressive seating position than the Feejer - not sure if this will be the right 2-up bike for me - much easier to handle with a passenger but not sure how comfortable for long distances - I think it's more comparable to a VFR with hard bags than say a ST1300/FJR/Concours type ride. Looking for exhaust suggestions (don't want to spend the $$ for a full Termi) smoked shield - GIVI trunk (I think Scotty has one at AMS) and other farkle ideas. Probably will head down to AMS this Sat (if the weather is OK) AND park across the street.

Cool story Jim.  I purchased mine under very similar circumstances.  A wealthy gentleman bought the motorcycle for his wife and she just wasn't into the riding thing.  I bought the bike 9 months ago (2002 Monster 900) with 1200 miles on the odometer.  It was stored in a climate controlled garage along with his other 5 bikes (A few Ducatis and BMWs) and next to a Panoz and several top dollar luxury cars.

Congrats on the purchase and I hope your insurance dilemma straightens itself out.  I'm not sure if Mivv (an Italian exhaust manufacturer) makes a system for the ST3, but if they do i recommend it.  Very pleased with my titanium slip-ons.  Can't find many quality titanium pipes for $650 new.    You'll hear em soon.

+1 for muskrat-method screen darkening.  If you won't be looking through it, rattle-can that thing.  Those aftermarket smoke screens are ridiculously overpriced.

I told him yesterday but he forgets.
