    Bye bye Ducati!

    **General Announcement**

    Told Ducati

    a few weeks ago. Last day was Friiiiiday. Be getting in a boxtruck and driving back to Boston on Saaaaturday. Moving into Brighton, so back in the City bitches!

    So no more 'we hate you comments'!! (at least until I get my next gig squared away )


    Do still have one of their Hypermotards in my garage, which I have been beating the bag out off all weekend. Up and down the mountains, thru SF, etc etc. Think I'll run to In 'n Out right now and get some dinner, while I still can partake in the goodness that is IN'N'OUT!

    Nayson. Good relations must be maintained as I'm remaining involved in the motorcycle industry and it is a *very* small industry.

    They are sad to see me go (as they should be) which is far better than the way some of my ex-coworkers left the building.

    It hasn't been the same since you left. Your spot in 1a is waiting for you. (you have to race a Duc or a Hawk, we just got rid of our one bastard child motard)

    What if you work at a sunshine and lollipop factory?

    Welcome back to the right coast, or as we like to think of it, the correct coast.

    Re: Bye bye Ducati!

    ahhaha thanks for all the kind words fellas and trust me, I know from the outside I appear mentally unstable.

    Just take my word for it that the reality isn't always as shiny as the illusion Had a great year with many unbelievable adventures, but, well I know when it's time to get off the ride. Plus there is more to life than hot chicks in skimpy outfits (did I just say that?!?) and sunshine.

    Least I read that in a book somewhere? :headscratch:
