Hi, Lewis.
Welcome along.
Please excuse me for jumping straight in but .....
I wonder if you could chase something up for me ?
Last year, while in Italy for WDW with a dozen other club members, I visited the factory.
I had with me a cd white label copy of a "lurve" song that I wrote about my M750, and I left it with the very pleasant lady who did the guided factory tour.
She seemed quite pleased to receive it and assured me that it would be passed on to the relevant person, who she said would be equally pleased.
I'm not after any particular recognition for it or anything like that .. just thought that it was a good "folk example" of the Ducati passion and as such they really ought to know about it.
Although, due in part to the favourable reception it received, I had expected some sort of communication ... but I heard nothing and have now given up the expectation.
However .. and this is the reason for bringing it up .. my email contact details were not on the cd itself, merely scribbled on a piece of paper when I handed it in, and as such they may have got separated and lost.
So maybe that's the reason for the lack of feedback.
Is there any way you could look into it for me ?
I could send you another copy if you like.
I'm not claiming it to be the next number one or anything but, even though I say it myself, it is a half decent song.
For background, my love for a 750 monster hails back to 1974/5.
Yes, you read that correctly ... 20yrs or so before the first one was made.
It was a vision of how the original bevel 750s could be if the design was modernised and the price lowered.
Lo and behold .......
So you can see, she really is the motorcycling love of my life .. sheer perfection on two wheels .. and that's how it will always be.
And hence the song.
Sorry to trouble you with this but, on a purely objective, selfless level, I kinda feel that its worthy of pursuit.
Bit more background .. if you speak to Tim Macabbee, he may remember me as the long-haired guy who turned up at the Donington WSB evening soiree a couple of years ago on said blue M750 ...... with a rear wheel puncture.
More than you bargained for ?
