As some of you have no doubt realised I have been selling off the trick bits off my 888 over the last few weeks(Thanks to everyone who bought stuff,still got a couple of parcels to send and a few cheques waiting to come in)with this in mind I`m going to sell the 888 in virtually stock trim bar suspension,lightweight flywheel and white wheels.The reason for this is a combination of things,work/money(or lack of it) and family commitments.

This will be the first time this millenium that I haven`t had a Ducati in the garage and to be honest I`m quite looking forward to itMy intention is to take at least a year out from bikes.Sitting here this time of the year on a cold wet night in front of the computer it seems straight forward enough,but I know come the summer time it will be easier said than done, but by then I expect the bike to be sold, but even so I still think it will be hard,but that new found time will be spent with my family,something I haven`t been doing lately.

With no bike I`ll be stepping down as Norfolk RO,but I`m sure there`s enough Ducatisti in Norfolk to take the role on
As long as they don`t hang about with the old BHCthey`ll be fine

Speaking of the BHC,that will be the biggest thing I`ll miss,rideouts(and I use that word loosely )with the likes of Keefy,Fordie,Jools and Glyn etc. I could go on allnight about those guys,but if I do I`ll start blubbering If you haven`t been out on one of their rideouts you really must make the effort,you haven`t lived till you`ve been out with the BHC

I`m still going to keep an eye on the board and have a post now and again,well a least till the bike is sold ,but not to the extent I have been.

As a member of three Ducati clubs over the years this is by far the most lively,informative and freindly,but you already new that didn`t you and long may that continue.

So if anyone wants to buy a cheap tidy 888 you know where to find one.
