    Nah mate - the Ed is the specialist on those types of bikes. I'm down the pecking order. Stretch is a maestro doing tricks on them too. Campbell has a better experience base.

    I cover the 'big' bikes - Tourers ADV cruisers 'tards.

    They let me do the Buell sportsbikes because I intercept the mail.

    Meh....
    All a matter of taste though I guess....

    I do appreciate the engineering... BUT it looks like it was parked too close to the bar heater on the garage wall.....
    all the plastic has melted and slid down the bike...

    Must say it is fun to have a job where you can try out heaps of different bikes

    Nah I meant I get the big tards - megamoto etc.
    I don't think that there has been any Ducati test bikes locally. Not sure.
