  7. hope it's dry, but I'm sure you'll be fine whatever.

    I passed my test on a Monday and picked up my brand new cbr600 on the Wednesday. It was pouring down. I'd never ridden a sportsbike, never ridden on new tyres and never ridden anything bigger than a 125 in the rain. I was passed by what looked like a 13 year old on a 50cc scoot :frown:

    I'm sure the entire staff of the dealers were watching me go, waiting for me to fall off!

  11. Hope you get on well then.

  12. This was the view from the train window when I was on the way to pick up my Multistrada in December 2009...the staff at Parkinson's in Colchester said I was the first person they'd seen riding a Ducati in the snow!

    First 100 m of my Ducati ownership was in ice and snow!

  13. That is the best way to start my one was in snow blizzard and I was the only motorbike on motorway. :)

  14. And that's the sad part of owning a Duc. I've never cleaned a bike so much. In fact I think I've cleaned Daisy more than I ever did my R1 in 2.5 years :tongue:
