And what a Christmas it is turning out to be.



I've been resisting temptation for a few years now.



But, alas, I have succumbed. 



I've got to make room in the garage for a new 2008 Ducati Monster S4R S
Tricolore 998. Check it out at:

BUT BE WARNED for she is a powerful siren wrapped in Italian colors and she
WILL entice you!



I saw it at the MC show a couple of weeks ago and it was damn near love at
first sight. I left the show, rode the GPz straight to the local Ducati
dealer and managed to get my name first on the list for the first one - due
into the shop in two weeks. And so it was that I walked out with a grin and
a receipt!



I'm keeping the Geeper and the DR, but am really looking forward to riding
this new beauty.



Hopefully with my job scene more stable now and no more recalls to the sand
box, I'll be riding more and with any luck at all, seeing some of you guys
along the way.



I wish you all a great Holiday season. Ride safe and ride often. Keep good
thoughts for all of our comrades in harm's way.
