Arrgh! Kill!
Broken moto!
more specifically; A snapped cylinder head bolt!..Ducati's were known to have problem with the steel not being elastic enough in the stock bolts on many of the 1994 900 engines.
The bike has 25000 mi. so I am guessing that I have been fortunate they lasted this long, but i sure wish this would have happened to one of the previous two owners rather than myself.
A very time consuming/expensive repair.close to 1000 bucks if i take it to someone.
to do this job myself will require a hell of a lot of work on my part and is a real pain the ass.
suffice to say I have not had much luck w/ this bike, in fact one could say it hates me.
This sux
.... But at least the engine didn't self-destruct as it very easily could have, and caused catstrophic damage to bike and sending me flying down Kelly drive at 100 mph sans bike...and that surely would mean death on a otherwise OK Sunday afternoon.
I mean whaaddafuck already!!!!

sorry you're having a bad time with that.
as i mentioned earlier, my mood has slightly improved today. partly by faking it at work, partly b/c i got through a day w/out a catastrophe befalling my friend's dog, partly b/c i got my husband 2 little things to give him on the day of his birthday, and i have a really good idea for his "real" present, but it won't be complete for a few weeks.
oh, i also got the new Harry Potter.
i'll start reading that after i f inish the 2 books i'm reading now and slog through a couple more books of poetry.
but i'm such a book-o-phile, that it's comforting just to have to book in my presence - it has such a calming effect on me just to hold a book i love or am looking forward to reading - just to flip through it and smell the pages. . .
is that wrong?
so, this girl doesn't like chocolate?!? i think you should check and make sure she's not an android or something. that's just too strange to be healthy. i mean, normally i'm all for differentness, but . . . come on - it's chocolate!
i'll take the flowers
