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 ..
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE, WHO IS A FATHER. If I had the money I would buy every father one of these.

Nut that is KITT... And the incredible KITT is black.... EVER!
That's pretty cool and I was a KITT fan too, but I doubt that thing can go over 40mph without shaking because of those UGLY & FAKE air intakes. I bet some of the lights are burnt out too, which is why they have no pics with it on...
So if you do have some spare cash to spend on dad, I highly recommend you:
Have Bonnie replace the lights and remove the fake air intakes
while you ogle April
and hire a David Hasseloff impersonator, so your Dad can be cool too!
Happy Father's Day
I'll get that only if Kitt is included, lol.
Regardless .. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL HERE AT XDA. WE SHOULD HAVE MORE DAYS OUT THE YEAR RECOGNIZING PROACTIVE DADS AND FATHERS.
TODAY, I'm celebrating by taking my boys fishing this afternoon and coming home to Ben & Jerry's Steven Colbert Ice Cream, and a cake my boys and lady will bake for me.
BEST,
ROBERT
If you have ~$30,000 just lying around to spend on your dad, I'm sure you can afford all the other changes
That car has been Hasselhoff'd.... I dont want to get anywhere near it!
A Penny for a Cup of Rice
​
Me and my wife went to wet market this morning to buy something for tonight's dinner. After we bought everything I saw this "very" old woman crying and begging for help outside the market. She said "Maawa na kayo sa matanda, palimos po, hindi pa ako kumakain!" ("Please take pitty on this old woman, I am begging you, I haven't eaten anything yet!"). I got teary eyed seeing this old woman (thingking she's my grandama) begging for a penny so she can buy something to eat. I told my wife to buy some food so we can give it to the old woman. We did and I handed it to this old lady. I saw happiness in her eyes when I handed her a box of Dunkin Donuts, 1 big cup of Orange juice and 2 orders of rice (2 cups of cooked rice) with 1 order of viand (adobong baboy...Filipino pork dish). We went home with happiness in our heart. I hope our goverment will be more keen in helping this kind of people.
I acclaim you for this act of kindness. Just pitiful to see how so many places waste food when it can be given away to the needy. If you return something to McDonalds or any other restraunt because it doesn't "satisfty" your needs, they don't even think twice about what to do with the food; they simply open that trash can and say good bye.
Thank you. It breaks my heart seeing this kind of people, specially old ones which reminds me my loving Grandpa and Grandma...By the way, I did not post this just to let the world know that I helped somebody, I did this just to send out a message to everyone to help the one who is in need . And also, I took that picture secretly using a camera phone. I stood beside the old lady and discreetly took a picture of her.
You should see this video. Just the same with McDo, most of the restaurants here do the same thing.
its sad how some countrys governments or who ever is in power how they let this sort of thing happen in this day and age. and whats a penny to most of use its pocket change that you probably but in a tin because you dont want your pockets full of crap. but the big question is what could we do to help this sort of thing ? i bet if you gave her a job she would be one of the hardest workers there.
adam
honestly, indonesian beggar are worst than that,.
almost in every trafic light, we will always see one or two, very old beggar,.
Goverment, is a goverment, we cant tell something to them,.
but, i think we could do a better with our heart,.
We could give money or something that make them survive, just like what red_hanks did,.
So this friend of mine, 17 year old girl, uses a keypad based Sony dumbphone with a broken call speaker (so she has to use full speaker to make calls) refuse to buy a new phone cause all the stores around here only sell Android/WM/iOS devices, and she hates touch screens, she's willing to spend up to 200 dollars on ebay to get a new phone of the same damn model from 2006, and states that "All smartphones are only good for, is Angry Birds"
I just find the arrogance frustrating and needed to get out some air, hehe
She has her preferences and you have your preferences, neither are wrong.
Let people enjoy what they enjoy

You know you can't change a women when there mind is stuck on something. Trust me on this,I work at a bar.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.
........Death before dishonor........
Tbh i somewhat envy her: my passion for smartphones has probably made me waste a little part of my precious brain cells and for sure a great amount of time. God, i had to use a Nokia N70 for about 15 days while i was waiting for my GS2 and my Desire was already sold, and i cannot express with words the peace of mind i felt for a few days: at the beginning it was like living in hell, but after a while i left most of my compulsive phone habits (checking this and that every now and then) and i experienced a few days of true peace of mind. Ofc after a while you get bored, but man you should try that feeling at least once in your life before you throw some poor naive girl in the middle of this crazy world. Smartphones can become insane time vampires for some people, and that isn't always a good thing
let me see man
Give her a new phone for christmas. You ARE Justin Bieber's norwegian brother aren't you?
Hi guys,
i really miss this feature to record videos undercover. And Today i found out i really need that in a robbery case. I got robbed 2 month ago. So i got to get a new note 3. It turns out that the guy lives right next to me. He will go into jail for at least 3 years without of probation if he's well known. And it seem like he is. He has to step back 500m from me. If i am lead into his way he has to turn and avoid contacting me....
Today he didn't i did not wanted to fight. so i kept my technology in my pockets and did not record this...He knows the gear and he would flip seeing me recording...but it was ideal he was walking behind me trying to provocate me...I was wearing heaphones, i knew it bit i couldn'T understood what he said. But he tried to push me over the edge. I laughed and walked home smiling...with a barking dog behind my ass..
So you guys think that is possible that someone of you guys could accomplish that? Ofcourse not the only case were it would be quite nice to record something...
thank you in advance for your opinions
cheers
Yes, this would be a great feature. I'm thinking it would be great to catch police brutality without them destroying your camera.
If the FBI is recording from our cameras without us knowing (and sharing it with local police), then we should be able to record them too, right?
I would assume rooting , rom, and trying a spy app ?....
I want this for mountain biking. Id be able to strap watch to handlebars and record longer than short clips without worrying about draining the battery.
