And the story:

Way back in 1999 I bought my first Ducati and the love affair has just grown and grown. The bike was a standard M900 that I still own to this day. Between 1999 and now I add a 1997 748s to the stable then a 2004 749s was add in 2006. The 749 was a nice bike and all but I am a Monster driver and after about a year of ownership I traded it in for Sophia in 2008.

First to go was the lollipop mirrors and the tail was trimmed down a bit. Then the Termis were added but they had to be chopped after I finally did the full tail chop. Glorious sound now flows from the beast. A 999 shock was added just I could realize how much work I had to do to the front end. Shortly after that I yanked the swing arm off and had it powder coated and golly gee what a difference in the looks of the ass end!

Next on the list is cutting up a clutch side case cover so you can see the whole clutch just spinning and making wonderful Ducati noises. After it is cut up, it and the stock cover and the alternator side cover are all getting powder coating. After that who knows what I will cut off or shave down. Maybe I'll get off my ass and work on modding my wife's S2R800.
