enjoy the factory and the museum.
I went there in october 2004 and it was amazing.
don't forget your creditt-card 'cause the factory store has very cheap prices.

thanks you all for your welcome!
hope i can go to uk soon

I will tell Rod (Emilys Driver)!

The only thing I can say in Italian is "I'm so sorry but I don't understand a word you are saying, however my boyfriend does " but I have found out that if you pronounce it slightly wrong, I actually say "......but my boyfriend is a chicken" !

Oh yes and bienvuto.

hello, its great to see we're gathering members from around the world. I think this is also the time to fill a thread with rhyming slang and chav speak, or is that just too cruel

I do like the colours on your bike though, i see the white/cream bit is on the belt covers and side pods too, matt black is not the easiest colour to complement but you might have cracked it. Have you seen Julie's black and silver 620, very pretty, shame it still has a tea tray.

I can't speak a word of italian, i spent a week there and did just about manage thankyou (badly) but i found the word Rossi and a smile did wonders for good service wherever i went.

Yes it's a bit of a tongue twister at times, the old lingo italiano.

Thanks for the compliment Riccardo. Right I must get back to work. Dodging the snow showers for now.

Nice to have you on board Tax82

thanks again for your welcome.

Surfing the forum i have seen that a lot of you mods his monster.
I'm wondering how stricly are laws there on th UK, because here in italy for non homologated accessories ther is a fee of 375 euros (200pounds+).

But this don't stop us

In my motoclub (Desmo Owners Club Venezia) ther are a lot of modded Ducati (mine too).
If you want to see some shots of them, here is the link to our photogallery:

We don't have to pay a fee over here, just satisfy MOT or SVA (if it's an import) testing standards. Thanks for the link to your club gallary - that will keep me amused for a few hours

I love the belt covers on this bike. Do you know if they are custom made or available to buy?

12-02-2006, 08:51 AM

i think it's available for buy.
i don't know if it's Ducati Performance or something else.
I'll try to tell you in a few days.

Those (is it right, I never remember the right rules) are the ones on the new Ducati Sport Classic Sport 1000.
