    Ha! Jamiestrada, bloody brilliant! If only we had somebody with admin rights and no scruples or perception of private boundaries.




    Oh....

    Loving the Ducati, I met a guy who had one when we went to Assen, and I must say for that type of bike the Multistrada is the sexiest.
    I would love one as a second bike, although cannot afford that luxury, so I will stay with my beloved Blade and admire the Ducati whenever I see one
    Enjoy

    Nice wheels mate. I thought I,d seen your blade on eBay few weeks back when trying to value mine. My brother not long bought a tiger sport 1050 which Is very similar and loves the riding position.. Have fun!!

    Went around Castle Combe for about an hour (4 x 15 min) A guy in our group had a Multistrada s, he was certainly no slouch, I have a pic of me going round a corner and in the background is the Ducati, ABS off being backed in like a good un, have to say I was really impressed with the bike and rider, would love one as a partner to the Blade, unfortunately I think the budget may just about stretch to a KTM 950 SM

    Nice bike Jamie, some may have seen the Multi on the Pikes Peak, for those who have not this may open your eyes to how they can handle, these bikes are not far from standard. Jamie on his way to the hill top cafe ;)

    Nice bike Jamie. I have noted your above comment and would recommend you give the Ducati Performance (or Ducati tuggy book as Ling calls it ) catalogue a wide swerve.

    I'm sure it's an improvement on mine, J. When the sun was more than 40 degrees above the horizon, you couldn't see if they were on or off.

    More mood lighting than warning lights.

    Nice bike Jamie, was that or the hypermotard when I went But what's funny I couldn't touch the ground.The guy at Ducati kept pushing me towards the monster but I didn't like it.So I bought a pair of helibars instead.

    Very nice man. I really like the Multistrada and I hear it's an awesome bit of kit. Will go down the route at some point after I nearly bought a Triumph Tiger this summer.
