  3. Amended the original post so you can see it :)
     
  4. JHP had one last week in white for £10995 inc termi on their facebook page.
     
  5. That one sold within a hour.But they have a brand new white one pdi'd and ready to go,cancelled order i think.
     
  6. No one wants the white ones ;)

  7. I'm torn. The plain red doesn't do it for me on a 899. I love them with a splash of white like yours simmy and I love the article white too but I've got a white monster and always said a super bike should be red.

    Think I'm waiting to see if they sort out the reliability over this summer, let prices come down a bit and then look for a slightly used white one to sit alongside my 848. However I'm changing my mind daily.

    Here's a wierd one, I can insure a 1199SL cheaper than a 1199s , and a normal 1199 is cheaper than a 899.

    Thats because the 1199 is for real men and the 899 is for boys ;)

  10. And then id need to re-attach my testicles after my girlfriend has removed them. Im having enough grief about a 899 at 10k let alone £50k.

  11. Ah you see....there you go with the excuses...I think your biggest worry now is sorting out a place in the garage and getting it alarmed....women....just tell her....well, I don't know tell her any old shit...remember, pics on Monday, ill let it slide til Tuesday...
     
  12. permission is harder to get than forgiveness they say .

    I actually reckon that if i could afford it ( i cant) i could buy any bike and she wouldn't notice as she never goes in garage , and if its red or under a cover she wont even realise its different anyway.

  14. Im beginning to think you might not be true to your word...!

    Yeah....whilst I can immediately get away with smuggling anything into the garage or fitting to the bike - weve got a joint account so its there I come unstuck....plus on top of that just the ownership of 2 bikes corners me on any arguments eg....

    "can you fix the kitchen tap, its leaking"
    "Can it wait?"
    "you've got 2 fucking bikes in the garage!"
    "yes dear."

    That's pretty well how most requests go in our house...in fact to get the second bike it was....

    "Can I possibly get a second bike?"
    "Yup, but I want a new bathroom"
    "Yes dear...."

    To which followed 2 months of work, and a skip outside the house for that time and me being 5k lighter....and yes I did most of the work...

  16. No wonder the tap is leaking :)
     
  17. The plumbing is the one thing I didn't do...! which was ironically the largest amount of the cost...funny that!
     
  18. Women come and go...that Ducati is for life!!! ;)

  19. don't understand the "needing the wife's permission" thing, as said before what she don't know don't harm, man up.
    and always have a separate account.

  20. My mate decided to change from his standard 749 to a carbon 749R, he told his wife he was taking his for a service. 8 hours later me and him get back and he proceeds to unload the 749R from the van, she never noticed a thing, BUT, his 6 year old did and let it be known !!

    I made a hasty retreat as things got a bit heated from then on !!!
