$1500 to drop the oil & check the tappetts on a roadie, why would you bother..??
Ah yes.....and then there's the Ducatisti..........a bigger bunch of self flaggelists you'd never meet
Never ride the A model of anything.

IDK, it's been my experience that the most rabid Ducrapi supporters are lower-middle class. They like Ducatis because they
think they ought to. Sure, there are a few wealthy people who own them, but dentists/doctors are more likely to ride a BMW.
"casting dispersions on others credability." And their illiteracy.

Even the odd busa board member can ride a BMW ;)
Easier to change the rules than make the ducks fast enough ....
The most amusing Ducati story I can think of was upon visiting one of their showrooms in Richmond, (Melbourne), I came across a Desmosidici which was sold. The owner had left it in the shop and had been there for almost a year, with no intention of grabbing it according to the sales people. I think he just wanted to tell people that he owned one! Having two wheels these days seems almost to be a fashion, like those Harley guys you see on Lygon St, (refered to as 'wogs on hogs'). Their idea of going for a ride is to meet in Carlton for a coffee! And the other hog guy I saw at Peter Stevens in Dandenong; putting on his fake pony tail before donning his helmet and heroically riding away, facinating!

Hi,
Please note that there are few members who own both the Busa and a Ducati - we shouldnt indirectly hurt their feelings.
Cheers,
Bill
