Back Spiderin' (Well, I hope so!)

Post by DUCeditor »

Hi all

I used to be a regular here. Have owned and loved a `77 since `88.

Then, a couple of years back, health issues took hold of my life and things like motorsports (I've been a long time Ducati nut as well) had to be put on hold. But today -- in just the next half hour or so -- my Spider is being taken in for post long-rest service, and with a bit of luck my good lady and I should be back on the road, at least for short drives, in no time.

Anyway, here's to hoping. The motorcycle, that I know is a no go. But Spidering? Hoping for the best there!

Thanks guys!

Triple A sent out a real pro. He got Spidey out of the ol' car shed like it was nothing. By now she is likely at AVA, back on the pavement, and maybe even already getting Alex Vogel's tender loving care.

Isn't it great when you have a truly skilled mechanic you fully trust?

Nice to have you back Don, and glad you're feeling better.

Nothing like turning to a pro. You'll be back on the road in no time.
