When and where does the story begin?


Where should I start this story? Maybe when I was four and got my first three wheeler? Or maybe when I was ten and started hanging around in the my neighbours garage while he was builting mopeds from scrap? Maybe April 22th in 1985 when I got my drivers licens? Or should I start the 23rd of May 2001 when I got on the train from Stockholm to Berlin with 7000 DM in my pants to buy my first Ducati and drive it 1000 km back to Stockholm?

No, I think I'll start telling this story by the 17th of August this year:
My friend José was sellebrating his birthday with his family when his wife told him that something wasn't allright in the garage. He went out to have a look and found a Ducati 748R in his garage right next to his Bimota DB2. He was a little confused untill he found a post on the bike saying "Happy birthday darling" It was a birthday present from his wife!

As you can see on the picture there's hardly room for both the 748R and the DB2 in Josés garage, so though he didn't like it he had to sell the DB2 and put out an ad on the webpage of the Swedish Ducati Club.

Since first came across the DB2 I've been madly in love with it, and always thought that maybe one day... So when José sent me an email asking about some parts i bought from http://www.ricambi-weiss.de I just had do ask him a little about the DB2 and tell him that I just might be interested!
