Nope, I think you are right, Steve. So, have Ducati UK have the power to change what is posted? After Rob insisting it has a place on the forum. Maybe he got an email from a certain celebrities lawyer. Even if they are sorting the guy's engine now, the thread still has it's place on here.
This I'm afraid was one of the reasons Dan shut down the old Ducatisti forum I believe - lots of potential for stress, grief and hassle with threats of legal action. Such a shame.
still doesn't make it front page news, since when did the site become the Daily Star? The thread is still there
could be worse. I suggested, once, that cheap trackday bike and having JHP do all the prep wasn't really congruent, ie top end race team means appropriate cost for all that experience and knowledge, got PM's and forum abuse of 'who do you think you are?!' incl from said dealer along with threats of recourse. So doesn't surprise me if the manf has had a shot across the bows shit have I done it again..
