Well, the Multistrada is in the process of getting to it's new owner this week in Blighty and it looks like it's Stateside replacement will be an 06 999s (red, clearly) with full Termi system and only 3,000 miles on the clock.

Now all I need are some twisty roads in Houston......

Hey Nick, how's it going? So it's a 999s this week, eh? wink

Moved here on the 3rd July, and so far I haven't seen much to inspire. I have been reliably informed by the Houston Ducati owners club there is plenty of twisty type hilarity to be had a short ride away - as soon as I have the bike I'll be joining them, so I'll get some piccies up.

How goes real work?

Hello mate!

Weeeell, why not. Gonna actually buy a bike I LOVE the look of, not one I think I should get, or have read that it's the best.

Houston eh? Permanant move?

Will be stateside for the foreseeable, going through the immigration process right now (much harder than the Barcelona one!), though not sure how long we'll be in Houston.

Never been there myself, but love the states...ok, except NY. Is that work, or did you just fancy a change?!

Cool. So if you decided to stay, would having a Fiance be enough for a visa/passport thingy, or would awedding be on the cards?

Fiance visa only lasts 6 months, unfortunately - need marriage to get a spousal visa. The wife is American wink
