998 Lotut

Got to meet Chris yesterday. Only part missing from this bike is rear fairing.

How ever does need work. Did he keep the bike at his columbus house?

I work at a used car dealership in Millersburg and a random bike was going though a car auction in Columbus. Told my boss to buy and when we got it was missing lots of plastics and would not start. I don't mind because it will make a good winter project! Title came in with his name on it so I googled " Ducati and Eric Houston" and this thread came up. Sad to hear he is no longer here but what can I do. Seems like he had a lot of friends so that's nice. I like the bike and just started working on it. Can't wait till spring time!

RIP Eric. I never got the chance to meet you however I have great news! I own your 998 Ducati now. I will keep it nice and respect just like you would have. Long story how I got a hold of this sweet bike but if anyone knows that if Eric has the old parts or extra keys or manuals for this bike let me know. It would help me out with the restoring part of this bike. Jon

Touching subject since you have past away but I just want to say I own your bike now.
