Comprato un motociclo Italiano

[miSTa]

Couldn't help myself. After a few months of trying all manner of non-Japanese bikes ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 I had to go Italian. So I am now the proud owner of a 2001 Ducati ST4.

It was a ST4 that started the "need" for a new bike and it's a ST4 that finshes it. Yeeha!

A few crappy night time photos but you get the idea:

Nuffink wrong with a shiny red Italian. I couldn't afford a proper one so I got an ickle 600cc one. Still sounds like sex incarnate.

Well done.

[Ghost_Bullet]

I have a strong dislike for financial controllers...

(damn I hate myself)

Except when they make grand justifications like when I obtained some Italian metal!:Punk:

Nothing wrong with 600cc, we all have our budgets.

I found this beautiful beast on the Ducatti Website, and there before me lay the most gorgeous Italian piece I have ever clapped eyes on. !! then I found out it was in a Charcoal Colour!! Am now in :love: with the machine. Got the brochure, now to salivate and save/rob a bank/win the lotto, so I can get my dirty little hands on one.:Punk:
