After all Ducati's are social animals. The need companionship. My wife is starting to believe they multiply like gremlins.
I've got 4 and it is a problem, often I take my favourite of the moment out but feel I should take one of the others out cos it's not been ridden, nice problem to have though, always worth bearing in mind the following formula as well X multiple bikes = neglected wife = zero bikes + zero house.
After 21 years my wife is acclimated to my antics. I see it this way... It salves my hunting instincts. Without the bike, bicycles, or any other random interest I find my self partaking of I would most likely be a serial philanderer. Love one woman and many hobbies!
I've no wife (or GF at moment) so I buy whatever bike(s) I feel the need to and keep them and work on them whenever and wherever I choose.
I can cook to an acceptable standard and I wash and clean all my bikes with no problems at all. Some times I wash and clean myself as well, usually on my birthday.
Nice collection, when does the Panigale arrive? A question for you; which is your favourite Piles Peak? I always regret not having the Mk 1 (Jenson Button's old Pit Bike) when I had the chance...... PS I find if the wife has a horse it makes life very easy
I don't think ill be adding a Panigale anytime soon, and the 2012 is my favorite. In fact if I had to have one bike only it would be the 2012 Pikes Peak. Don't get me wrong I think the 2016 DVT is a brilliant machine, But the 2012 is just so raw and visceral when you want it to be, and you can throw down big miles at ease with comfort as well. I will most likely add a Monster 1100 S as my next acquisition , I want to try a 2 valve aircooled dry clutch bike. maybe a similar Hypermoto if the Monster doesn't fit.
