The white kind of grows on you.....


After reluctantly reliquishing my 2008 to the insurance company I finally negotiated a deal on the 2011. 5 phone calls, and one insurance check later.... Just need to install all the crap I took off the old bike. Gotta love a project!





Back to the Adventure..

While the black ones are rumored to be faster, the white ones draw the admiration of all the beautiful women and cause complete strangers at bars and coffee shops to buy you free beverages simply to get a closer look at this wonderful machine.

Suspension is better too, and the fuel map is a secret.

My 2 friends have Ducati Monsters, the black one is modded to death with carbon and other bits. People walk around his to drool over the white one which is stock.
