Well I just got finished moving into my new place... it's a lot smaller and a lot more money but location is everything nowadays. So far so good though...the office is a bit disorganized but I can live with it since I've been convincing enough to have them meet my needs thus far.

That of course is the boring stuff.

The first day I move in, I see there are garages all lined up outside the apartment, and the one right in front of mine has the door open. As we drive by in our Uhaul I look over and see a brand new Ducati 848 inside. So of course I go running up to the guy and start shooting the ****, telling him about my bike, and getting him to tell me about his bike, etc. etc.

Long story short, I had to go get my bike later that day since it wasn't going in the trailer, and when I pull up he sees it and says "you can't leave that outside man... it's going in the garage". So now, instead of forking out $150 a month for a garage, this guy let's me park the Repsol right next to his Ducati every day. He's a car mechanic so he has every tool known to man already in there and of course it's at my disposal. He gave me a key and refuses to take any money from me! Just insists that it's too nice a bike to leave outside.

Last night we went out ridiing around the city from around 7:30 til about 10:30...and damn that Duc is torquey as hell! We made it a real race from a red light and I watched him in my rear view after about 5 seconds all the way up until I shifted out of 3rd...so it's not quite fast enough for the Honda.

I'll get some pics with the good camera this week...but I'm back folks!

 

Kick ***. Reminds me of my first appartment...

Walked in to look at the place and I smelled the stankest pot ever coming from upstairs...

I'll take it!

Congrats on the find - gonna learn a bit about those Duc's now, are ya?

 

Hey that's awesome, I love reading stories like this - so many people these days are such a-holes. I was lucky enough to keep my bike in my girlfriends parent's garage but i KNOW that there are TONS of people in my development who only use their garages for storage but they are all uptight pr*cks and wouldn't let me park my bike in there even if i paid them.

good deal man, looking forward to seeing some pics

 

Wow, that's freaking awesome man! It's always good to hearabout dudes who make kind gestures for no reason other than being a nice person.

 

Dude that's awesome! Good/nice people are hard to find these days so when you do give them respect and value them. Gald the bike has a new home as well and it's cool you have a new riding buddy.

 

Thats really cool of the guy to give you a key and full access to everything. People like that are hard to come by.

 

Congrats man! I'd love to have someone so nice where I live. All I get is some A-hole who parks his Gixxer wherever he wants and doesn't follow building rules.
