put a deposit back in march for the cbr,waited and waited,kept getting delayed,2 weeks ago my dealer said may 24,i couldnt wait so i went to a diff dealer to see one they had in ,but was sold,i just wanted to see it again,i look to my left and they are setting up a new ducati section,it catches my eye,so i walk over,saw the 848,but way too big for me,then i see the monster,and i loved it---wife sees price,and right away tells me forget it,lol,light bulb goes off,hey i said to myself,u got 5 k set aside for the honda cbr ,i could put that down on a DUCATI,i always dreamed of having one,so i sat down did the deal,5k gone,let the payments begin,honda dealer called me,because i forgot to tell him,that i bought another bike,he tells me my cbr is in.Dont know if i made the right choice,not a rich guy,so im hating myself a little bit,i could have had a cbr paid off,and now i have payments????what was i thinking,this ever happen to anyone,now im soo pissed ,because my wife wont let me live it down,i now wish i just bought a scooter,HELP---I HAVE A BRAND NEW DUCATI IN THE GARAGE,AND I CANT GET MY MIND OFF A CBR OR A SCOOTER,I NEED HELP,LOL

i dont know,i think once u take delivery thats it,my thinking is simple,i now have the bike,the roads to work are all 35mph,and always backed up,i was on the new bike today on the way to work,and i was stoping and starting,go---stop---go---stop,1st gear---sec gear,,,first---sec---while the whole time,thinking why didnt u just get the ruckus,looks like soo much fun on utube,i should have thought about that first,but whats done is done,i will just double up on these payments until paid,keep it for a couple years,and just get a scooter,and do some mods to it,i hate shifting,been riding for twnty yrs on and off,wish i knew what happen along the way,i guess between working 12 hrs a day,and going to the gym for 2hrs a day,i guess i just want to twist and go.i live along the oceanfront and it gets backed up all summer from tourist.i figure now i have the bike,just make the best of it,pay it off qiuck,and next time dont rush.My last bike was a buell,liked it,but i also worked 1 hr away from home,now im 12 min from work.dont think i want to spend most of the ride in 1st,sec,and third gear.

JPC,i hear u,but i was impatient,i should have waited for the cbr,but like i said in previous remark,maybe im lazy,but dealing with this traffic along the jerseyshore,i really dont want to shift anymore,but---i will keep this bike until its paid,then i will regroup with my screwed up thinking,and think next time before i lay all that cash down.---hopefully honda will come out with a 125cc ruckus,it looks like a mini chopper,i just want one for the laugh and fun factor,and to see the look on my co.workers faces,when they say,ducati to a scooter,:eek:

PS. Jersey I tried to tell ya to wait;)



u and my wife both,lol,---damm italians,lol,jk,i love italians,and the irish---dont get me wrong,the bike handles unreal,i even drove down a road here ,thats called scenic drive overlooking manhattan skyline on the jersey side of course,and talk about twisties,bike is soo light,and tires hug the road.I think it all comes down to the money right now,i lost touch of the whole idea i wanted the honda cbr 250r,i had just sold my gas guzzling chevy tahoe,it had a 8inch lift on it,it got about 8mpg,so i had a cool 5 k to pay off the little cbr,but nooo,honda had to make a impatient man wait,and the money burned a hole in my pocket,who want to trade,my ducati for your cbr 250--plus--a honda ruckus---done deal,lol

thanks madd trap,that did make me feel alot better,i have to show my wife this post about your bike u bought in jan,and now dont care for it.she keeps telling me im bi--polar,lol:mad::confused::Dand that they make pills for people like me,cant stop laughing,she told me to go in the garage and sleep with my bike ,before she went to bed,if i could fit a bed in there i would,i love the bike,i just think it came down to her bitching and about the money.so what im i gonna do,spend more,i just saw boom tubes for my ducati,they look sick,and they sell a 1 sided swing arm that accepts a 300 mm tire:eek:,looks crazy cool,maybe i just have to mod it up,have some fun ,then sell it,and wait for the 125 aprilia coming out next yr,now were talking:cool:
