Taken by a random photographer on the Cat & Fiddle last weekend. Not an action shot but I think the old girl looks good
The 1198 eventually showed up. Turns out the guy I bought it from in LA is a well known lawyer and had a TV show for a while. He currently represents Mel B. No wonder he de-stresses at weekends on his D16 after dealing with shit like that through the week... The bike has 871 miles on it and although not bone stock, at least the mods are good quality. Weather is shit here but may be OK tomorrow for a short ride before winter arrives. I haven't cleaned it yet but bike condition is mint. Just wheeling it around the garage I am amazed how light it is compared to my old RSVR (I checked its about 40lb lighter dry weight)- like a real race bike...
Oh, and bring it with you when you come back to the UK (and give me first dibs when you want to sell it)
Been looking for this bike for a while and finally managed to get the right one. Mint condition, previous owner bought it in 2012 and it is loaded with genuine DP carbon extras + Austin Racing Carbon Cans. I have added the DP Seat, Evotech rad guard and a nice personal plate.
Stumbled across this in my photos folder...the sisters basking in the sunshine... Oh and this one too: Because Ducatis are RED...dustbins are yellow..hahahaha
Best time to ride that road - in the winter when there’s no tourists around. Did it a few times back in 1990/91 on my RG500...
