Ready to rumble.

They don’t really rumble but do have a nice note. Ben pays one rego and I pay the other which also has to be transferred from Tas to Vic when it expires in October. I’ve considered selling both bikes because they don’t get much use. Each usually has a short run on alternate weekends with dates duly noted on a whiteboard in the garage. Resale value of a '99 Honda VTR is fairly low and ours has a dented fuel tank that further reduces its value. The '98 Ducati's in good condition but there are so many more-modern bikes available. We’d be lucky to find a buyer who wants a Ducati Monster 600 as much as Ben did when, after the unexpected demise of the VTR, we bought this one in Hobart. Rightly or wrongly, I think of the bikes as a barometer and, one day, when they're regularly back on the road, it's a sure sign of recovery. That’s why we’re keeping them for a while longer.
