do you?

I'll have to admit i've never had the pleasure of riding a ducati.

Try and get a ride on one. They are so different to the jap bikes, it took me ages to get used to the cornering, but once you do you realise how special they are (until your back starts hurting so much you need to stop).

Yeah, being 6"3 isn't going to help me on a matchbox ducati

Wow, not a 427 but the history!

I better get my frame onto a 999r and get the creditcard out

[ducatichick]

iye-cant beat a 289-my daddy has one in BRG xxxx its quick...
yes i think the 999r is a way forward get the 2004/5 model though as the new one hasnt got carbon fairing as standard and this model out now has

I'm 6'2" and to be fair it only gets painful if you get stuck in a bit of traffic, once you're up to speed it's fine.

Even my SVS is uncomfortable through traffic and that's plenty more upright. Fortunately we can filter

[ducatichick]

grr ive done it again!

oh the perks of being a biker unfortunately the downfall is its one of the only Businesses that kills its customers horrid but true

[jonb-]

Indeed. However hard i try i just can't get my knee down in my MR2 (or get a rush like it)

[ducatichick]

lol jon u nutter... nothing quite like it though is there

[Gareth Hill]

I think you lot need to be on a bike owners club not this one !

[skinthespin]

Well we all have MR2's aswell! Go for a test ride on a 675 Jon, you will fit easy, we tried really hard to make sure it fits all sizes, even though its a tiny bike, you too Ducati chick, mind you anyone is welcome to have a go on mine in the summer, I think ive made my mind up.............

The GF will batter me!

[jonb-]

That settles it. Next year i'm going to orginise the first IMOC rideout

Gareth, we probably are all on bike clubs (i am) but it's nice to connect with people on here too.

I'll take that test ride on a 675, it's a lovely looking bike and i can't wait to hear it. Can't make my mind up if i prefer the vtwin thump or the IL4 scream so this should be interesting to hear with a straight through pipe on
