Re: Oh yes.

Ducati have a 400 coming out A2 compliant. Haven't we got a contingent at the Milan show? That 959 panigale with 154bhp looks like a change of direction.... 899 then 1199 then 1299 ? Go figure !

Not not yet. Once I've got the fork tubes done I will be doing a few mock ups to get the look spot on. Have you got a number for the Wirral rechrome outfit ? Cheers for the end can tip

Re: Scum

It's just very sad. He looks like he'd been a decent bloke all his life only to have it end like that. You won't get many commenting on it. Triviality and opinion aren't really relevant here.
