[Ducati] Re: Staton, keep me informed....

[Staton Shed]

No discrimination Peter.  Injured or not, your still faster than me and I 
didn't want to get embarrassed anymore than last time!  I'm up for another 
Hill Country ride.  How about Feb 1?  IF it's not under 45 degrees there for 
the entire day.  I have found that for really long all day rides, anything 
below 45 is not so much fun for me.  Yes, I realize I just revealed a big 
target right on me for complaining about cold weather riding...I ain't 
skeered.

I really want to see that Hypermotard, I am stuck between wanting one and an 
848 eventually when I thin out what's in the garage some.

As for the ride on Feb 1 weekend;

Hopper?
Whiting?
List?

There, no discrimination...

Staton
