I wasn't really here that long before, but my old 2001 GS500 needed a lot of help. It had a very abusive former home, but I was able to rehabilitate it. My old 78 GS400 is in the background:

Since then, I bought and sold a 2003 Ninja 250, and then on to my dream bike, a 2006 Ducati Sport Classic 1000. I don't have any really good pictures of it, but here's one with me on it:

Anyways, don't have pictures yet, as its pretty cold and snowy around here (bad time to buy a bike, but if the price is right...) but my girlfriend just picked up a 2006 GS500F. It's in pretty good shape, and has about 4k miles on it. Pictures sometime, maybe...
Sure sure...rub it in....HEH......No really....Sweet Duc... Enjoy....MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm Ducati...
Good time to buy if you're deal hunting....
