Did buying a Ducati make you want more Ducati's
I got my first Ducati a couple weeks ago an 09 Pearl White 848. And other then thinking about riding it I seem to spend my time daydreaming about finding a 748, 916, 996, 998 or a ST2 or one of the late 90's early 2000's Super Sports.
Anyone else have this "problem"? I had this problem before getting my Duc but now I'm searching for deals on Cycle trader trying to figure out a way to convince my wife, even though I had to take an oath that I wouldn't ask to buy another bike for 5 years. Since I'd just gotten a different new bike last year too.
Just can't stop dreaming about adding a 748S to the garage though.

Mine works like yours, but the opiset.
When I got my 1st, I was 16 I got an old claped out 1965 250. I wanted a new 1978 900 SS.
When I was 22, I got a a 1976 860. I wanted the new 750F1.
When I was 36, I got a 1995 900 ss, I wanted a 998.
When I was 39, I got a 998. Guess what. I did not want the new 999, still dont.
When I was 43, I got my 1st Brand New Ducati. The 1098, in April 2007. I was going to keep the 998 forever. She was a great bike. But soon? Fuck that old slow bike! Not even fun to ride any more.
So Groupis, collect the oldies if you want. But now that I can have new stuff, thats what I will take every time.
That being said, I do still have a 1969 450 and a 1990 750 sport. Dont ride them, but nice art to look at. Haha.

Why should I have a fear of anything? If there's a higher power and He decides He wants me, He's going to take me anyway. And if there isn't, then I'll ride it all the way in.
