I was gonna say Tripple whammy, pre packed bags, don't have to inform where your going and a new bike...
wonder would "new bike" be good enough for grounds for divorce. but then knowing my luck she would get the bike in the settlement lol.
I have ridden my mate Darek's tricked, lightened and mapped 1098 a few times and it’s an absolute beast that if you gave it the chance it would royally roger you big time. Don’t get me wrong I love my blade, as I have the others I have owned, it would at a moments notice teach me a lesson in A&E I would not forget if I got carried away. But some how Ducati’s seduce you into not caring about anything else you hold dear, you know they are going to cost you a fortune both financially and emotionally but just to look at them………..and if you get to cock your leg at the weekend its all worth while. Hang on a minute this sounds an awful lot like Ling.
just thinking about it now, this was my last run on the bike feels like years ago instead of months.....thats the bug ducati gives you
I also keep looking at this bad boy at Metropolis, brand new unregistered. I have even been and touched it, but it doesn’t have ABS so not for me but I still keep getting drawn back to it. It’s been there a while now so a deal might be on the cards if anyone is interested:
Go for it. Don't worry about the abs. Thats another thing, you get spoilt when you have full brembos. Going to nissin feels like the your brakes aren't working.
I know what your saying Phantom but I just can’t go there. Back in the summer I had a really really bad near miss experience that nearly made me hang up my leathers forever and I am convinced that if it was not for my ABS it could have been for the after life. I Just can’t do it, like my pure white helmets. Both are properly stupid I know but it is what it is. Simple as that.
my problem was the pilot pures worked as well as the brembo's I front flipped the duke and faceplanted into the road......the bike landed on my back.
You keep it coming guys, you are giving me a few more reasons to put the money in my pension fund instead of the my fun fund
Oh no, don’t start again. I was off for a shower and bed to cuddle up to my loved one safe in the knowledge and a good nights sleep that keeping the blade is what I want and then you do that..........for the second time today. Your not helping mate, now I am going to be lying awake wondering how much a DP tail tidy, exhaust and carbon bits and pieces are going to cost me. You sodamite....
I never bothered with a tail tidy as the standard looks good enough..... hope that helps you sleep better lol
There's a 3 page review in the MCN of the MV F4 if you fancy a gander at that Jimbo. I know how u like your MV's Also a review of the CB1100 that I know our Ken would enjoy.
bought it - read it - seems like every other mv before it but slightly better - not as good as the jap / bmw / aprillia rivals - would still have it over all of them!! stunning bike! going to test one and the duke back to back....
