Hello!

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by DesmoDerek, Jan 18, 2015.

  1. Jut want to say Hi from a long time Ducati owner from North Devon currently living near Cincinnati. Just traded a 2012 Hyper 11 Evo SP for a 2014 Multi S Touring and am choking at the price of upgrades for this model. Geez I though the price of Diavel parts where out there 'til I look at upgrading the exhaust, screen and seat...

    Anyway, glad to be able to post and reply.

    Cheers All.

  8. Don't think so, it's one of the nicer nicknames.
     
  9. Welcome mate, when have you ever know Ducati upgrades to anything other than expensive?
     
  10. You might have a point about the price of parts!

    The lumpy jumpers round here wear bullet proof vests, as they are frequently used by a certain bunch of ethnic youths as target practice, so the lumps are more like bumps.

    Why does everyone keep calling me Dave?
