View Full Version : I finally retired the old girl

Finally after years of faithful service I have retired my 996S to a warm and comfortable place - my new office.

All the time that I was designing and building this, it was always at the back of my mind to have the bike move in to share the office with me, and finally it has come to pass.

Hope the old girl is comfortable, and I'll give her a proper clean and polish when the weather gets a wee bit warmer!

dont know if i would ever have the room or money to do that, but it looks superb. definitely an idea for the future.

would have mine in a av/boys room though. probably spend more time looking at the bike that the tv.

Very nice bike porn, glad to see there is still some space left in your heart for real music played by vinyl.

I could get the TZ into my 'office' but it's upstairs and would be a bit of a nuisance when I want to ride her though. I did re-build her in the kitchen though..........

Nice one John-hope you have easy access to get her out though?-first trackday date is 31st May...........

I'll be using the RS from now on.

As the title says, "the old girl is officially retired" until I bin the beast......:(

Sadly I'm a bit of a train spotter when it come to lo-fi, spent many a year and too much money to find audio heaven.
I wish I'd discovered the pleasure of the noise of a Duacti years ago it would have saved a fortune.
