9/10/09 Well, it's a year since the Duc last ran and it's still in pieces with no real prospect of us finding either the time or energy to get it back into a condition it deserves to be in. So it's time to say goodbye to this machine, after 10 years. Aside from the damage I've inflicted she hasn't aged a bit as a design and the lines are as fresh and elegant as ever.

I've been assured that the Duc will make an appearance at the track next year. I hope so. Our own plan is to get an 848 in the spring. We'll see.
