The Monster left with its new owner today, I miss it already… but I think I’ll be ok this year, what ya think?

Thanks guys. Its actually a 98 916, 5600 miles, 6k service completed (everything from valves to rockers were checked and replaced as needed). Has Fast By Ferracci slipons that sound glorious, ohlins shock, ohlins dampener, race ecu, and a few other bits. Probably first thing I’ll do it a clutch cover, but honestly it needs nothing. I just can’t wait to ride it. I’m expecting to crap my pants the first time I get on it a little… ---

compared to the monster, i’m sure it will feel much faster… But even with the mods, it probably doesnt make more than 115 whp… (if that) so you should be alright… just be safe. I want to ride an older ducati sometime, everybody says they paved the way… one day, sigh. ---

Dry clutches have been around for a while, they’re stable… I’d rather have a wet clutch though. ---

That’s what I hear, but my friend has a 94 916 his uncle bought new and he says even though its uncomfortable, it doesn’t bother him as bad as people say, especially when he tearing through mountains in VA. ---

You’ll have to come out for some of our group rides, we try to make it out to Dino BBQ a few times a season, I’d like to see this bike in person :tup: ---

Cool man, I’ll probably ride with more people this year, I wasn’t too keen on being in larger groups last year so I usually only ride with 1-2 other guys if anyone. You guys make your way out south of Rochester ever? I usually go down rt21 and roam near the finger lakes. ---
