I think Fujack put it best, "Ask yourself why you ride a Ducati ". Do Ferrari owners get depressed when they don't do well at the races? Who cares?
Most of Ferrari owners are snobs or spoilt prats that buy the car for show. They never ever take even half the use of it's capabilities. They also do not use it every day or for high mileage. Just to a place to show off and back. Race Ferraris are quite heavily modified to stand a chance. However all that can be easily said about bikers. Thing is most Ferrari owners would have no idea how to change a fuse in the car or even know where they are. That is how much they are interested in cars, it is all about badge and status it brings. While most bikers would easily be able to change bulbs, replace pads, take wheels on/off and some more.
Speak for yourself. I'm cack handed and leave that kind of stuff to people that know what they are doing. I just like to ride my bikes. Quickly. :smile:
Give it time Ducati has this uncanny ability to change bikers in to mechanics, have you not seen the t-shirt? T-shirt never lies! Also how long are you riding?
I started riding when I was 17. Rode for a couple of years then went to cars. Started riding again 23 years ago and haven't stopped since (apart from getting petrol of course :wink
If you go onto Official Site Ducati UK - Bikes, Equipment, Accessories, Racing, Company, Dealer and select the bike then scroll over the small colour option box it gives you the prices of all models. Interesting the more expensive models have gone up by £250.00 !! thought the euro was working in their favour ? The new Diavel Red and Blue option has gone up by £1500 over the old Red and Black ???
