How I came into my 98 ST2...
Boss' daughter: Do you know anything about the repo guys that come take old motorcycles to the dump?
Me: No - and old motorcycles don't go to the dump. Usually, they are sold, parted out or given away. Also, "repo guys" don't go to the dump with anything they have repoed.
BD: Well, my husband was going to pay these guys to come take his motorcycle away.
Me: What? The Ducati?
BD: Yeah. It's just been sitting and he doesn't want anything to do with it anymore.
Me: Hell, don't pay someone to take it away. I'll come get it tonight and it'll be out of his life. Call him right now and let him know.
Long story short, within a few hours, the bike was in my driveway with a clean title in my hand. The bike does not run due in large part to it sitting for a while. I figure that a new battery, fluids and some misc. work and a tuneup will be in order. In any case, I always wondered how people got so lucky with deals like this and now I have a story of my own to tell.
I wonder if anyone will actually read this. Gotta love the "new guy" sections on forums.
