After much looking and patience, my first Duc finally found me... a '95 900ss 31500km, all original except for smaller front sprocket (?14). Bought from 2nd owner with full service history (he bought it from his mate who owned it from new). Only thing is that it's been sitting pretty idle for the past 3 years, including 2 years off the road until Aug 09. Runs fine but will need a bit of TLC to get up to scratch. Since it's not my only commuter that's not such a big deal and I'll learn as much as I can in the process doing what I can myself. Even that first cautious ride home after 6 years off a bike was a blast! Handling is sooo sharp. Love it!

Thanks to all who offered advice on my previous posts and elsewhere on this awesome site - it made the search a whole lot easier

Jim,

I received your email and responded, so ignore my request for pics - that is one superb condition bike - I have a yellow spray can if you ever feel the urge to look faster!

ha ha ha thanks for all the understanding replies! It's almost as much fun just looking at it in the garage as riding it (almost). I can't wait to get it into shape for some good blasts!

Richard, might start by wearing a yellow t-shirt under my jacket. Is that near enough?

Corygt, what can I say?!! You are a sensitive soul in touch with your feelings. Good to see romance is alive and kicking in the modern world
