Well it's sunny at the moment.... Just bought a new Multistrada 1200 Touring S (the bank card's still smoking) my first Ducati after more than 15 years of Hinkley Triumphs, been through all the Sprints - 900, 955i, 1050, enjoyed them all but nothing Triumph is doing at the moment floats my boat.......so time for a change. Spend a few weeks every year touring Europe (Alps and Dolomites our favourite areas) with the wife on back, she rides a Daytona 675 but prefers to pillion for the hol's. Many friends in the BMW club from when we lived in the E.Midlands, done a few tours with them too, I might be getting on a bit now but still not ready for the pipe and slippers just yet (that's a few friends lost ) so rejected the GS in favour of the Ducati. Well pleased with my choice so far, can't wait to get past the run-in restrictions.
Ideal motorcycling weather down here in Cornwall at the moment... Welcome to the world of Ducatis - but be warned, they are addictive !
