I took the day off to tend to a few things I needed to do.

Hal came by around noon and drove me down to Modesto so i could pick up my Ducati from the dealer. Hal then took off and went to tend to some business matters.

I rode the Duc up 99 to Jack Tone Rd and went right by Doug's house. Took Elliot all the way to the T. Made a left and followed the road for a while. A turn here and a turn there and I ended up on Dillard (next time I'll take Clay Canyon as a short cut to Dillard). Took Dillard to Jackson Hwy. Amazing how many palatial homes are being built out that way with fancy gates and long driveways.

Took Jackson Hwy back to Folsom Blvd., and then home.

Hit the rev limiter once but got close to it a few more times without hitting it.

All in all a good day. I got to ride.

Hey Raffy,

Nice looking Multi. Not quite as "Off-Road" capable as the GS, but a kick to ride, no? I find that I am getting too old and fat to spend the day leaned over a 916, which I sold, or my 900, which I would like to sell. So I find that the Multi satisfies my Duc lust without the usual back/wrist pain.

Let's go ride sometime.

Bingo on your assessment. The Multi is all i ever need in a Ducati.

Yeah we need to get the Ducati guys together and go for a ride.
