Well, I have put many miles on 2 wheels and after alot of thought I have decided to part ways with my last bike. The Ducati Diavel is a great bike and has never let me down. I guess literally I let it down a couple of weeks ago. This hasn't changed my love for bikes nor has it scared me into not riding it. I know the bike didn't fail, It was the rider that failed.
What has changed is my ability to maintain a high level of commitment to my family, employers, and friends. I need to be able to respond and carry out my employers request immediately. As far as family is concerned I have been a huge burden. It sucks to be at home all the time doctoring wounds and complaining to everyone about how much I hurt. It also carries over into my friendships. I have told BajaRon that I would ship parts bak to him after I evaluated them and I haven't been able to even unbolt them because of hurting. What seems to happen is that every hour that i am not hurting so bad I try to get my work done. This hasn't left many hours for anything else. I know this causes inconveniences for Ron and everyone else that depend on me.
I guess what I am saying is that Im going to reduce my exposure to injury by switching to my Spyders. I know that Spyders have danger associated with them when you place them on a highway but with the Ducati I have to constantly tell myself to "hold it down" and you have to watch road conditions so much closer. It just makes sense to get rid of what is causing you a problem and also I can make the wife happier. She has never said a word about me riding. And she is so nice that she probably never will.
Ron if your reading this I want to apologize for letting you down. I will get the prototype links and the ST bar back to you hopefully this week. I should be able to get out to garage today and will try to remove them. And to anyone that needs a swaybar installed just PM me here. I know there was a gentleman that I believe called me. I had just had my accident and I didn't get the number written down. If you will please message me here or email me at [email protected] I will get back to you.
Maybe if I only have Spyders to put my time into I can contribute some useful info back to the forum.
I have the Ducati back in better than new condition. I actually added almost 2000.00 in additional carbon fiber parts to it. The parts that were scratched up in the wreck were aluminum. They are all now real carbon fiber. I also put some mean looking mirrors back on. Ill have a eBay listing next week sometime and ill post the link to it so y'all can take a look at all the new carbon....
P.S. I have almost got all the skin back that I lost at Deals Gap. Still have an Elbow that has a small hole in it but it getting better..
