That engine bay looks like a 92000 mile engine bay... LOL.
Something isn't really adding up either. Cool story, but he has certainly got some other kind of income (trust fund perhaps) to maintain a lifestyle like that.
The gas alone for a 92,000 mile trip @ 10mpg is over $36,000.00. He had to eat, he had to sleep sometimes. He needed at least 1 set of tires maybe 3, etc. Not to mention he was paying a mortgage... and at least a $1500/month car payment.
He couldn't get a loan from a bank to fix the car, but now all of a sudden he has a new workshop in dallas and a couple of ducatis?
I'm not hating.. after all if he had taken off on a trip like that in a new 135 he might not have even made it out of Ohio without HPFP problem, but romantic as it is I don't think we're getting the full picture.
