Good man. Don't worry about the date - my brother had his 13th birthday on a Friday the 13th. That was 51 yeras ago and he's still going strong 
And anyway, there are good connotations too: yours is a black (Du)cat(i) that will cross your path  ...........................Unless, that is, you only park it on the road  |

It will not be parked on the road at any point, and I feel chilled about the whole Friday the 13th thing, how can it be anything other than a great day for me |

200 miles, 50MPG, comfortable but the fuel gauge lies!

Had to find an excuse to get out on Multistrada today, ran via the back roads over to Ipswich in Suffolk(UK) to pick up a part for my Jaguar (it's old and cheap and I like it)
Not happy with suspension, back does not work with front, need to find standard settings and work from there
Mysteriously cut out on me on the return loop, was sitting at a junction with the clutch in and ........ silence started straight off so not overly concerned
Love the midrange and the riding position, seat is not as comfortable as I thought it may be, after all it's the DP gel replacement but what the hell was the original like  |
