MINI = OWNED!

After almost 5 good years - the MINI is finally all mine. I made the final payment a few weeks ago and just received the title in the mail. Anybody want to race for pinks? (kidding) - I think I'll enjoy not having a car payment for a while.



Ok- time's up, My MINI car payment has been partially replaced by...*drum roll*

My new Ducati Monster (S2R 1000) payment! :)







As some of you may have noticed the two vehicles in question share the same paint scheme- no that is not an accident - and yes, I am a big dork. Now my garage looks like the batcave.




I've already put almost 2k miles on the Duc and have loved every minute of it. The bike is fast as hell, versatile and gorgeous. The desmodromic engine has a really unique sound and the music that comes from the dry clutch is addictive.

My main challenge now is deciding what to take to work in the morning. For the time being I'm splitting time equally between the MINI and the Duc and feel lucky as hell to have such a healthy stable.

I'm also fighting hard to squash the mod bug regarding the bike- we have some other priorities at the moment and it looks like funding for exhaust, racing clutch etc. will have to wait for a bit.

In the meantime the good news is that the MINI is healthy and has a suitable garage mate.

Commuting has never been so much fun :)
