[Ducati] Swingarm

[Alec Moss]

Hey Ron, thanks for the heads up.  My wife thinks I'm crazy/stupid/diseased
but I will be setting myself up for that problem, not to mention the head
stock frame crack problem, if the sale goes through.  That's right. After
several years of drooling, I'm picking up a 97 SP this Sat.  Can't wait.
She asked which bike I was unloading to make room for this one.  Hahahahaha!
