It's foot tappin' music.

Pfft, typical Ducati.

Three of them, and they still can't get it started.

 

Just mebee TK, it's NOT the bike that needs starting!


Not in my head anyway....................

An interesting preposition there Seb.

Given that it's Christmas, I get to decide which present I would like best.

Sadly, given my age and wisdom; my head is telling me to go for the Duke.

In spite of their prodigious appetite for parts and specialized servicing; I suspect it would still be cheaper to run than the three gigglers.

And, in another 20 years time, which will have retained the original look better?

 

You got me there Teek,

The ONLY bike I still lust after nearly 30 years after my first ride on one.



I wouldn't swap Mrs SB for one, but I could use her for a trade in on it

Sh*t I'm dead if she reads this............... (No not really - she can see the humour in it!)

Cheers, SB

 

Now, right there encapsulates all the reasons Dukes are just wrong.

Gear shift - wrong side.

Chain drive - wrong side.

Single front disc - wrong side.

And those carbs, no intake protection. They could very easily suck in a curious small boy, or a puppy.

That is just a serious Health and Safety risk. I'd be very surprised if you could even get to the end of your street without some Jobsworth in a high viz and a clipboard turning up and ordering you off the road.

Speaking of which; I reckon we only have a couple of more shots at this before the big guy turns up.

Xmas cheer my friends.

 

Its about growing old together. There's nothing wrong with a younger and newer bike to grow old with is there?
