Well, just like Nut rides the old Gixxers, I'd probably keep this one and keep her running. I grown pretty attached to it. More than any other bike I've had in 33 years of riding. Well, I do miss my old Ducati. Should have kept that one too, and gotten rid of the Ex then instead of waiting so long to get rid of her! She hated the Duc! Ain't hind sight great!
