|  I must be out of my mind . . . I am now the proud (albeit only temporary) owner of a silver 2005 Triumph Sprint ST 1050, complete with a set of hard luggage. I've put the whole bike on my credit card. I must be totally nuts. But I can't wait to get out of the office and on to my new bike tomorrow! Look out California - here I come!

| Good for you. Now, you can head into the Napa Valley. There are a ton of good twisties there. You can go into this Ducati Monster's site: Ducati Monster Board - Ducati MOB And look for a member called "Ducky." She's like the track-queen of that group and this group has weekly twisty runs into various SF-area routes. She also has a Triumph 675 Daytona. Just let her know you're a friend of mine and she will show you around. I will try to call her in the next few days so that perhaps the three of us can meet up in SF this weekend. Have fun !!!

| Well, you've got that out of your system. For awhile anyway. The hard luggage would always be the icing on the cake whether or not to buy a bike like this.

| I picked up the bike tonight, and rode it back to the hotel. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, yea. FANTASTIC! I can't wait for the weekend! I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow or Friday - if I can get out of the office early, or if it's not totally foggy in the morning...
