SOLD-A Ducati 1098 for sale at MMBN 08/29/13

Tonight was another installment of the weekly Mira Mesa Bike Night (aka MMBN) and the first one I could make in a long time.  I got there about 6:30 and there weren't very many bikes yet.  It's been really hot and muggy in San Diego lately so that might have kept things slow as well as a hot rod show also in Mira Mesa attracting some attention.

Despite the heat I had to get my Starbucks!

And yes, I balanced the cup on the tank of Miss Swail, my 1986 Kawasaki Concours.  Concours are also called "Connies" so you might figure out the nickname....

So I started walking around and talking to riders as they rode in, since I was like the 5th or 6th bike there.  A few spaces down was a clean Ducati, so I walk over.  Lo and behold, there is a for sale sign on it and Chris, the owner, standing nearby.  We start talking and he fills me in on the details.  It's a 2007 1098 with upgrades including a full Termignani exhaust.  The bike only has 11,000 miles on it since he has a number of bikes.  It is the Ducati red and looks practically brand new.  He is asking $9,500 and ok'd me posting a bike, so here it is.

I've got his digits, so if you are interested, leave a comment and I'll help you get linked up with him.

Later in the night more folks showed up-old friends and new.  Probably counting all the bikes that came and went (some rides left at 8, some later) there were likely 75 or so bikes there.  Pretty chill event-patches, independents, all makes including a classic BMW and Harleys.  Hope to see more folks out there in coming weeks.
