So, after much deliberation I finally got around to buying a Ducati 696. Picked it up on Saturday and spent lots of time this weekend getting the tyres scrubbed in and getting used to the bike. Rapidly come to the conclusion that this has to be the best buy ever as the bike really puts fun into riding. Only comment . . . . might change the seat for a Corbin as it's not the most comfortable.
As for me . . . live and work in London, bit of a lone wolf when it comes to riding, but that's just 'cos I'm a miserable old git (not really)
Used to live in North Wales and seriously miss the North Wales roads.
