Im 29(so more mature), 6ft 3 and built quite well(in other words not a feather weight) and i rode a 125cc yamaha rd with power valve for years&always borrowed my mates 250cc when i was a kid.Been driving since i was 18 (11years) and have never fallen out of love with Bikes or Ducati's to be more exact. Now i can afford a nice bike i want one for purely dry sunny weekends every so often just to cruise about on and not go tear arsing round tracks. Thing is i simply love Ducati's, love the sound, the style, just love em! Of coarse i know they are powerful but do i want to wait until im old and grey until i can ride one? no i dont........thoughts on a postcard please :) Just so that you are aware i would also be looking into buying over the winter period to hopefully get a decent deal and then just keep her(or him) in my garage nice and warm with spit and polish until the summer months...........i have a car for day to day stuff, want a bike (my dream bike) for me,,,, just for me!
