I'm sorry to say: It's a goodbye!

Post by Harigeharry »

Well although I frequently vistit the Paso Forum, there are little post from me lately.

Main reason is the lack of driving time on the Paso, so nothing to mention.
Last time I used the bike for what it is made for was in 2004 Word Ducati Week.
You might remember my stories about it.The highlight of the Paso ride. 1500 km back to Amsterdam in just 1 day.
No Problem with the Paso.

To use it around Amsterdam during worktime and traffic jammes was just to much to ask from the Paso.
Mikuni swap just made the bike better in drivebilaty but then again to dangerous for me.

Also I repainted the body work and later swapped it for totally new bodyparts after an oil slide.

So the bike looks like new and I fearing of falling and damage the bodywork again.
This winter I took the battery of and when I replaced it now the Paso wouldn't start.
I don't have the time or patience to repair the bike.

Yesterday I got a bit depressed of not motoring and went visiting a Ducati Dealer in Amsterdam the Netherlands.
I saw the naked Streetfighter and was sold. I mean I bought the Streetfighter and made a deal for the Paso.

They willing to pay me 1800 Euro unseen.

The streetfighter will arive somewhere in may.
Why do I mention this here?

Well firstly it still gives me a feeling of "giving up" on the Paso.
Secondly the bike looks so new and it drove perfectly last summer I just want to mention the sale here.
Maybee a Pasohead who want it before it faals in the claws of a (Italian) bike dealer.

Sorry to write this down.
Thanks for al the years of help and advice also on the mailing list.

Roy, it`s so nice to hear something from you again and sad that you`re saying goodbye.
Even though I don`t like the Streetfighter I`m sure it`s a good bike and no comparison to a Paso. I hope you will have more riding time with the new bike.

all the best !

Gerhard

Hi Gerard,
There just no replacement for the Paso to find.

Time consuming projects and a familie life takes its toll on working on the bike.
If it's good with you and other Pasoheads I'll continue posting in the Idle Noise Topics.

Might have some nice pics of the other half of my Avatar and some of my other projects, which I'm sure of you like also.

No doubt that owning a Paso takes up a lot of free time. Your Paso not starting after its winter lay up is probably because it needs the starter motor earthing mod. Mine did that this year, I got to grips with it but not much fun for a few weeks. I am sure you will find the Street fighter right up your street.
