Sports: Re: [DucatiST] Goodbye, and thankyou

Jeff, this don't mean you can't stick around here you know? Heck, anyone that would go the extra mile

and fling themselves under their falling steed is a real motorcyclist and we could all benefit from your wisdom.

Perhaps a Multistrada 620 would be fitting you style. ;)

Hi all,

After 3 ½ years with the group, and thoroughly enjoying reading, and sometimes contributing, to all your tales and exchanges of information, I have decided it is time to hang up my Ducati ST2 leathers. At the age of (nearly) 70 the bike is simply too big and powerful for this old boy to handle safely, so it's back to my lightweight vintage Triumphs.

To be fair I have only ridden the beast a handful of times, but always felt that it was in charge of me. It fell slowly over on me once in the garage, and in my efforts to keep that precious damn mirror away from the floor, I ended up trapped underneath it and wedged against the wall. I could have thrown one of the Triumphs back on its wheels in seconds, but it took me several minutes to extradite myself from underneath Luigi, and some superhuman strength to get it back on its legs again! All to no avail, I still had to fit a new mirror spring!

Anyway, the deed is done and it's on Ebay. Anybody interested in a genuine 7,500 mile 2001 ST2 in yellow, hardly ever out of its heated garage since I bought it back in '09? Read about it anyway, just out of interest. Price? I've started it at £2,500 and we'll see what happens.

So, thanks again for all the fun, and sorry I've let you down by not using it the way it should have been. 20 years ago it would have been a different story....................!

All the best,

Jeff Lindsay and Luigi
