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.
