you all would be jealous of the deal i got!!

So the other day my brother bought a project motorcycle that only has the frame, handle bars, wheels, and engine... nothing else. I went with him to go pick it up and the guy he was buying it from had a 2000 Ducati 999 in his garage all busted up. As my brother was paying him i asked him about the Ducati and he said he hasn't rode it in a while and he tried several times to get it started and he wasn't succesful. I walked up to it and scoped it out and its a pretty sexy bike. As i was looking at it the dude tapped on my shoulder and i turned around he handed me the title and says "its yours, put it on the trailer."
I got a FREE '00 DUCATI 999 how bad ass is that? i got it home, cleaned the airfilter, checked the oil, checked the spark plug, put some gas in it, swapped out the battery and if ****ing STARTED! i still can't believe it! the front is all busted up so i need a new headlight and all that(ferrings if thats what you call them). Gonna try to get my motorcycle license this week and make some money to make my baby look clean! Also its time to finally buy a bluetooth a2dp headset so i can listen to music and talk to people while riding this BEAST! So if you see a black flash, thats me flying by you on the highway!! and yes, those will be my guts all over the street.
What you guys think? Yall jealous or what??? hahaha
i'm actually considering trading it in for a 600rr or r6 because its WAY too powerful for me.
also i had the vin# ran through a friend at the DPS (or DMV in other states) and the title came out clear with no previous wrecks on record and its legit (not stolen)... so i basicly just got an $8,000 present!

Uhh, a running 2000 Ducati 999, FOR FREE ???
Your title is completly true, my jealousy can't be described with words
This is THE BEST street-racer (in my opinion, I don't like hayabusa) ever..
But it's not for beginners, please be carefull, it's a beast, it Will chew you up and spit you out if you're not carefull.
Trading it in for a lighter bike is recomended, but not cool B)
Anyhow, have fun you lucky [email protected]

Yah this thing is really strong. I used to ride dirtbikes during highschool (was sponsored by red bull and a local motorsport company) but street bikes are something else! theres a bunch of **** i need to do to it; brakes, wheels, new chain and sprockets, fuel lines, and the front fairing. Its been raining here for the past 3 days so haven't enjoyed it yet.
I think i will trade it in because as i said in my first post, its a monster and i will definately kill myself on this thing.

what doesnt kill you can only make you stronger, or paralyzed

Did you ask....

Perhaps you need to ask the guy that gave it to you for free, how he got the front all busted.......correct me if I am wrong, he dumped his demons on you...
Have you told your mum yet ?
If I were you, I would be VERY careful

Dont trade a Ducati for a rice-rocket... are you insane???
If you think a Ducati is too powerful for you.. you obviously never riden much or know very much about bikes... any bike can kill you if you chose to ride like a moron... a bike being too powerful is unheard of unless you are taking about a Busa or turbo-charged bikes..
Take your $8000 gift and enjoy it.. dont ever trade that in for a Jap bike. Would you trade a BMW for a Honda?
Congrats on your find though.. you are one very lucky guy!

Don't get caught up in the Jap vs. Itl battle, just look at Moto-GP and World Superbike and see who has been playing catchup with who, for the last 4yrs +
Trade it for the Gixxer or the Honda CBR600, you'l be better off. Cheaper in the pocket to fix and maintain. Besides if you are not use to twin torque, it can be habit forming ..

Stupid f'ing theives! ( I FOUND MY SCOOTER!!! WOO HOO!)

Well I awoke this morning to find my new Scooter was stolen. It had a front wheel lock and a the back tire was locked. What the hell??? So can anyone feel my pain?

And I thought such bastards are only in Slovakia.
Sorry to hear that guys.

im glad such deliquent behavior is not seen here in the dc
hahahha SIKE

Yea your lucky if you don't get shot or killed by a senator there!

if pro is the opposite of con, is congress the opposite of progress?

sorry man that sucks but i feel your pain
I live in Philadelphia...
If that wasn't enough to already make you understand I'll elaborate
-Car broken into 3 times took head unit all my cds and all my change plus cost of windows over 500 bucks (I leave my car completely empty now not even trash)
-House robbed 2 weeks after I moved here, took my 42" LCD, my xbox360, my laptop and monitor...how the hell hey carried all that out with no one seeing or reporting anything is beyond me.
but i learned my lesson, I have better car insurance and renters insurance now so I'm good...

Its really painful....what about the insurance???

Damn dude, that is the one thing I am worrying about. I think they were casing the neighborhood. I live in a house behind another house, my little house could be confused for a storage area (it however does look like a mini house). Anyways my neighbor ( the one in front of me) has been on vacation for a week or two so it looks like no one is home. I hope they don't try to break in to my place at least not while I am there.

LOL, a barbie house?
Did someone has a dog? Not something like chivava, but more like pittbull,
I think this picture can persuade thieves to choose another object.

Dont feel bad, people... I live right up the road from Washington DC (District of Criminals) in the city where you are most likely to be shot and killed... Baltimore, Md

The Wire taught me all the imaginary stuff my white mind could be afraid of.

This is why I believe in the "Shall Carry" states. I hate thieves and that is Why I carry 24/7.

Lol new famous quote. Did you make that yourself You should make a thread for all your quotes lol.
Kraize

I feel your pain bud but, I have a somewhat contraversial view .... read on and follow me.
About 8 years ago I had a BRAND SPANKING new YZF-R6 - about 6 n 'alf grands worth of 600cc supersports bike parked outside my house. Along came a bunch of kids (16/17 year olds) who started wheeling it off down the road without my knowledge. Anyway, they were chased off by a neighbour. You can imagine my anger and rage. The police came over and said they could do nothing even though they knew who had tried it - hence, they told us there ages. The copper said to me:
"I wish they'd stolen your bike"
"Why?"
"They are only 16/17 years old and with a bike like that, we'd be one less bike thief in the world"
Ya know what, I *almost* agreed with him - except it would of been MY bike.
The law is there to protect yourself as well as others. People aged 16/17 do not have the maturity to handle a bike like that ..... and it was proved ..... read on ....
Walking home from the pub a few nights later a fast road round the corner was closed. Blow me, someones smashed up a Fireblade (at the time, 900cc superbike). The wreckage of the bike was there, a bent lamp post and a couple of coppers. Turns out the rider had died.
That week in my local newspaper:
"On XXXday night, a 16 year old kid dies on xxx road riding his own moped"
Yeap this was the incident that closed the road. It clearly WASN'T a moped, it clearly WASN'T HIS bike (he wasn't old enough) and why the f*&K did the paper lie about it? Oh, I also found out a few days later that it was one of the kids that tried to steal my bike.
Contraversial bit coming up:
Darwin ruled over the rider and judged him inelligable to breed, removing him from the gene pool. Ever since then i've been a big fan of Darwin, specialy when it comes to car/bike thieves - even now, I can feel my blood boiling, face going red.... hope these thieves all get whats coming to them, painfully, just not taking out innocent by-standers in the process.

:O ouch. I'm only 15 and I was thinking of getting a suzuki gsx 600 next year when I get my license. It's not that hard to control. It's just that people are too stupid and they HAVE to show off somehow and lose control and crash...smart.

Even though a GSX-F (i'm assuming you don't mean GSX-R) is old, its still very fast for a new passer. Not sure what country your from but when I passed my test a GSX-F 600, for that matter any 600, you need needed to be 21 years old here in the uk. Thats for a reason and a very good one.
If you think its not that hard to control and treat it with that candid attitude then, you will be in hospital... if your lucky.
Not trying to be rude, just don't think you really understand how dangerous they are.

He Dies because of budget cuts ?

Wow, I live in this city, this guy dies a slow death and the fire and police dept watch......... then blame it on rules and budget cuts.........
... I need to get out of here...

Wow that is some messed up crap. None of those first responders had the balls to defy orders in order to save that man's life. Heroes...yeah right

A city on the bay and you cut water rescue? And no balls is right!

Sickening isn't it? Any two people, whether emergency service personnel or bystander, could have effected a safe rescue using nothing more than a length of rope. One of them would have to get wet but they'd be safely anchored and could have saved a life.
Check out this one. (Helping out a fellow man).

Yup DirkGentry, stupid That area of the bay is shallow it is nothing to get out there and on top of that the sail-surfers are right next store not like you couldn't get a surfboard..... such lame BS, this is a case I hope they get sued over.

We had something similar over here (except it was down to jobsworths not any cuts) where two plastic policemen (Police Community Support Officers - civilians in uniforms with notebook and pen) refused to go into a lake to try and save someone's life on health and safety grounds.

THAT IS CRAZY THEY SAID SINCE THE CUTS, THEY WERE NOT TRAINED FOR THAT RESCUE IM A MEDIC AND LET ME TELL YOU I CANT SIT BACK AND WATCH PPL DIE, WITH THAT SAID YOU ARE TRAINED TO NOT RISK YOUR OWN LIFE BUT WE RISK OUR LIVES EVERY DAY IN MANY WAYS. ITS CALLED A LIFE JACKET THEY SHLD HAVE TRIED ANYTHING AND NOT JUST STOOD THERE. OH YEA AND THE CUTS WERE PUT BACK THE NEXT DAY SUCH CRAP

Welcome to the New state of affairs in the US. Its only getting worse.

Got it from my sister when I was 17.
Was called X-ray after the physics class outing to the local hospital where a mate and I were supposed to be given a tour of the x-ray department, but no one was there so we spent the time in my car eating our lunches.
Only had a 4 speed gearbox, but went like stink off a shovel, once amazing a Lotus Elise driver by getting up to 30mph from lights before him (course he flew past me then, but I was ahead for at least 5 seconds).
German engineering being behind the times even for a car from the early 80's, the light switch was a rotating knob on the dash (I believe Mercedes still haven't worked out how to make rotating stalks), and the headlights once switched off on the way to the university observatory late one night.
Was an alright car until a dopey woman in a Skoda pulled out in front of me. Thankfully I wasn't going that fast but still tboned her.
She even tried to sue me for psychological damages for her and her family despite being the only one in the car!

UK CB Radios

My fiancee used to be in to it when she was a teenager, and we're wondering how active it is these days since you no longer need a license for it.
Anyone a regular?

I don't know anybody who uses CB any more. My dad belonged to a club, and had a set-up at home and in the car. He used to use us to help him chat up random ladies! My handle was Thunderbolt!
I remember he even learned Morse as he wanted a full Ham Radio set, but he never got round to that one. The CB club nights were good, everyone turning up with their cars festooned with aerials and chatting with each other as they drove.
Good times!

Danielle watched Smokey and the Bandit 1&2 recently you see, so she's got a hankering to get back on the airwaves.

I loved my CB when I was a kid. My handle was Bomb Jack and I was the CB equivalent of a troll/radio DJ.
It was a bit silly really since everyone at school knew my handle, so it was no surprise when one kid threatened me with a knife one day for chatting up his girlfriend. I didn't know who she was - she didn't tell me her real name! I just said I'd bring the condoms
Good times

Well, I popped onto the 'bay and selected the cheapest radio ending soonest without really taking much notice of what radio it was (only 6 minutes left on the auction), so in a few days will have a Team ME-4 minus squelch knob (can pick up a replacement from maplins) for the princely sum of £24 inc postage.
Also have an antenna with mag mount coming for £14.
The original plan was if it turns out there's a healthy CB community in the area, I'd re-sell the ME-4 and get the TTI 550, however having looked the ME-4 up, it's better spec'd so I'll be keeping it.

When I drove semi truck, I had a big awesome radio with a linear amplifier and big badass antenna setup, I could actually mess up other people's radios if I turned it up all the way at the truckstop, since they were parked so close to me. I parked in front of my parents houseone time with my radio and amp all the way up, talking to a guy about 20 miles away; my dad came out and said he could hear me loud and clear through the TV. They have cable TV

Back when CB started in the UK people imported rigs from the US, but they were illegal to use.
After lobbying government they agreed to license CB but FM not AM and just up from the US 27MHz range, which meant imported rigs were still illegal.
In 2006 they dropped the license fee but with mobile phokes and t'internet interest had fallen to an all time low.
