"I like Ducatis, at the moment."
I had a bud in high-school (1968) that rode a Ducati. The guy would jump out of a second-story window in the school and take of on his bike. After everyone came back from the service he and a few of his friends moved in two doors down from me and joined the Outlaws motorcyle club. Within a few years he became president of the club and owned C&S cycles in Nashville, Tn.
The moral is that no matter what you ride there's always hope.
PS. He later went to prison for stealing Harley's and shipping them to Australia.
C&S is still around. Several stores around Middle Tennessee.
