most definitely.  How did you know?  That is exactly who the Ducati was named after....ha ha
The Ducati is a 2005 S2R 800

No mistery, I read Franz Werfel and that's about the only Bernadette I know :)

Congratulations go out to Lisa and Dash -- a runaway favorite -- to win the April BOTM.  Although it started out pretty even, Mooshie maintained an increasing lead during the entire polling period. I think Dash and Lisa's story of heading out on the highway (looking for adventure) struck a chord with many forum members.  Nicely done.

Congratulations Devin and Jay on your beautiful bikes, too.

Wait!  this isn't an elaborate April Fool's Day joke is it?  :o  ha ha, I am so honored. Just being nominated was a thrill.  I was up against some great bikes.  Thank you everyone for your votes.  And if Devin or Jay want to loan those fantastic rides to me I would be happy to swing them around a few states! 
Thank you to all of the forum members who put up with my incessant questions and helped me to embrace (and repair) Dash over the last 5+ years.

Congratulations, Lisa. You and Dash earned it by the miles you both logged. We all like nice, fresh builds, but a lot of us also appreciate bikes that are really ridden like they were meant to be. Ofreen's original 750 with 150,000 miles is another bike with no build thread, as it was built by mother Honda. ;D

Fixed it for you. ;D

Congrats Mooshie.  The other bikes are excellent, but yours is a true traveling machine, a bike's highest calling.
