Well been offered a new job, something I want to do however as I got limited experience I would need to start from bottom up which means salary cut, on top of that will need to pay for bit of training out of my own pocket to progress faster, which means 996 has to go?! :'( Would still have monster when I rebuild it but riding season over for me. Worse off all to save money would need to buy a scooter to commute. Grrrrr Anyone got a good order scooter for sale guess 125cc to 300cc so can go two up for London commute and maximum 500gbp? Do not care how it looks as long as it is safe, reliable and not pink or stupid (like those pizza delivery scoots no thank you). Any recommendations for one? Eventually I would come out on top but that is if I am lucky in 18 months time more realistically 2y-2.5y. No idea what to do and need to decide!!?? Any takers for a 1999 996 Bi, 20k miles on the clock (2k by me trouble free). Mostly Ducati service history with one gap and one independent service (but only oil, filters, belts as 200 miles after major). Bike has termis, Datatool, datatag (no idea how to transfer owner), CF hugger, chain guard, swing-arm cover, exhaust heat shield (plus another CF heat shield plus stock), CF heal guards, CF key surrounding, CF mud-guard. A 996sps monoposto unit. No biposto unit. Second sub-frame as both are tatty in look, under-tray if you want to cut away alarm, storage that goes with it, pillion pegs, stock exhaust and hangers. It has new-er 5 spoke rims PC in gold to match rest of bike and set of new belts that need to go on in September as 2y since last one's were changed (2.5k miles). Mot in September, tax I think November. Also work-shop manual, receipts, service book, transparent head-light guards not fitted, stock rear wheel nuts (are current one's are apparently lighter alloy) and antoher sprocket and sprocket carrier for 525 chain. Current chain set is 520.
That's quite a lot of bike. Ive just got myself an ST2 or I would of been intersted. Mt brothe-in-law is looking, ill post these details to him. good luck
Good Luck Lucasz - not enough details to help you decide and ultimately only you know which direction you are drawn toward. Nothing wrong with a bit of a paycut if you feel sure that new job has potential to improve and that you will have a chance of being at least as happy if not happier than current set-up.
It better be El T otherwise I am selling a perfectly good 996 for nothing Chris I am currently miserable at my old job as have burned out. I hope new will be minimum miles better you know like difference between old fuglystrada and a 996sps The least that much.
